Former England captain Owen Farrell has agreed to rejoin Saracens, just a year after leaving the club for French side Racing 92.

The 33-year-old has signed a two-year deal after the Premiership club came to an agreement with Paris-based Racing to end his stint in Top 14 a year early.

Farrell, England's record points scorer, previously spent 16 years at Saracens, helping the club win six Premiership titles and three European Champions Cups.

He made 256 appearances for the north London side, as well as playing 112 games for England and winning six Test caps for the British and Irish lions.

"Saracens is my home and the opportunity to come back is one that excites me enormously," Farrell told the club website., external

"Having watched from afar this season, it is clear to see that the club has incredible potential, and I can't wait to get back in the mix for the 2025-26 season."

The fly-half's return means he is available for selection by England for their forthcoming tour to Argentina - and in theory he could even make the Lions squad should there be an injury.

Saracens are requiring cover for the injured Alex Lozowski and are allowed dispensation in the salary cap to replace him in their squad for next season.
