In 2018 Woolstencroft signed for Saracens.[7][8] In his first season at the club he was a substitute replacement in the 2018–19 Premiership Rugby final as Saracens beat Exeter Chiefs to become league champions.[9] That campaign also saw him feature in the European Rugby Champions Cup quarter-final victory over Glasgow Warriors although he did not play in the final which saw Saracens overcome Leinster to become champions of Europe.[10][11]

After Saracens were relegated due to breach of salary cap in 2020 Woolstencroft was a member of the side that defeated Ealing Trailfinders in the RFU Championship play-off final for an immediate return to the Premiership.[12] In 2023 Saracens became champions of England again.[13]
