Saracens have continued to reshape their double-winning squad ahead of the new season with the additions of Scotland fullback Sean Maitland and South Africa pop Vincent Koch.
Maitland makes the short journey north from relegated London Irish, while Koch -- preparing to face England Saxons with the Springboks second string -- arrives from the Stormers.
The pair have both signed two-year deals with the English and European champions and their acquisition takes the number of new recruits at Allianz Park to six following the capture of Schalk Burger, Mark Flanagan, Alex Lozowski and Save Rawaca.
"When I was approached about joining Saracens I had no hesitation in accepting the opportunity to join up with their squad," Maitland said.
"The results they have achieved this season speak for themselves but what really appealed was the burning desire from the coaches to continuously improve and evolve.
"I've really enjoyed my time at London Irish this season despite the obvious disappointment in getting relegated. There are some great people and players there, and I am sure that the talent within the squad will see them back in the premiership in 2017-18."
Koch said: "I am very honoured and privileged to join a champion team like Sarries. Ever since I visited Saracens I just knew that they would be the perfect club for me."
