Brad Barritt has insisted that he is happy to play in any number of positions for England as long he brings success to the team.

The 28-year-old Saracens tackler was last week named in the Red Rose's squad for the upcoming Six Nations tournament, having only recently returned to the playing field.

A calf injury sustained against Australia during the Autumn Internationals ruled Barritt out of action for just short of two months, but he is now back and raring to go for both club and country.

"I have proved countless times that my game is very versatile," he is quoted as saying by The Telegraph. "I've played in ball-playing roles as well as ball-carrying roles.

"In terms of diversification I have offered many things to the teams I have played for throughout my career. You play to what is in front of you. And you play the way which is needed to bring success to the team.

"I would be happy to play in my very numerous roles for Sarries or England."

Barritt's Saracens side return to action on Sunday when they take on Clermont Auvergne to decide the winners of European Rugby Champions Cup Pool One.
