Former England Captain Owen Farrell Returns to Saracens on Two-Year Deal

Owen Farrell has returned to Saracens after one injury-hit season with Racing 92 in France, signing a two-year contract with the English Premiership club. His move back to Saracens, which reportedly involved a compensation fee of around €200,000, makes him eligible again for England selection, as RFU policy excludes players based outside England. Farrell, who previously spent 16 seasons at Saracens and is England's record points scorer, took a break from international rugby following the 2023 Rugby World Cup for mental health reasons. Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall expressed enthusiasm about Farrell's return, highlighting his deep connection to the club and the positive influence he will have on the young squad. While initial reports suggested a future coaching role, the official announcement confirmed only a playing contract for now. Farrell expressed excitement about rejoining Saracens and contributing to the club's potential for success in the upcoming seasons.
