Castaignede excited after extending Sarries deal

FRANCE star Thomas Castaignede has signed a one-year contract extension with Saracens.

The 31-year-old utility back will remain at the Vicarage Road club until the end of the 2006-2007 season and has set his sights on qualifying for next season’s Heineken Cup.

Saracens host Leicester on Friday in the first of two remaining fixtures left in which to claim a Heineken Cup spot through their position in the Guinness Premiership table.
