Mordt, 26, draws on a wealth of experience with London Irish, Northampton Saints, Harlequins, England Saxons and England Sevens, and is looking forward to playing the best rugby of his career at Saracens.
"I believe it might have been said before," said Mordt, nephew of Springbok legend Ray Mordt, "but there is something special happening at Saracens, and I want to be part of it."
Director of Rugby Brendan Venter said: "I have known Nils for some time, and he has great hands and fantastic natural ability. He's also an outstanding character, and I'm sure he will thrive in our environment."
Parr, 27, joins the north London club from Nottingham, for whom he has excelled in the Championship. He has played for Sale Sharks and Leicester Tigers, and believes Saracens will be the club where he will fulfil his unquestioned potential.
Parr said: "Petrus du Plessis moved from Nottingham to Saracens a couple of months ago, and has done really well, so I'm looking forward to following the same path. Anybody who has watched Saracens over the past few months can see there is something happening at the club... and, you know what, it's special."
Venter added: "Matt has been highly recommended to us, not least by his front row teammate Petrus, and we are confident we have found another gem in the Championship. We are not a club that trawls the who's who of world rugby - we look for players with talent and character, and that's exactly what we have signed in Matt."
Both players will report back for pre-season training with the rest of the squad on July 5, 2010.

Meh x 2 if we're being honest. Mordt is okayish and God only knows about Parr.
