Morrow will join Steve Borthwick’s coaching staff upon completion of Saracens’ season having been employed by the north London club as head of strength and conditioning and performance director since 2011.

He also brings experience from working on the 2017 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand and from his time as head of fitness for the Irish Rugby Football Union.

He takes charge of England’s conditioning programme after the highly-rated Walters unexpectedly announced in August that he was leaving to join Andy Farrell’s Ireland.

“Phil is widely recognised as one of the most accomplished and respected figures in the game,” Borthwick said.

“His track record of success with Saracens speaks for itself. Phil has dedicated his career to helping players maximise their physical performance and is known for his relentless drive and ability to push standards to the highest level.

“I’m confident that England will greatly benefit from having Phil as part of the coaching set-up and we are delighted he is joining later this year.”
