“As a result of the decision to furlough our players, this means that they cannot undertake work on behalf of the franchise,” Gloria Keech, the franchise director at Saracens Mavericks, said.
“While this does mean that you will see less of them on our social media channels, we will make sure that everyone is updated with the latest news from Saracens Mavericks.
We want to be in a strong position so that we can get up and running as and when this crisis passes. There is a real determination to not only safeguard our future as a franchise but also look after one another during this time.
