Owen Farrell, the former England captain, is reportedly close to finalizing a return to Saracens from Racing 92 after a challenging season in France. Although no formal contract has been signed, discussions are optimistic for an agreement allowing his move this summer. Farrell previously enjoyed a successful 16-season tenure with Saracens, achieving significant titles. While initial reports suggested a five-year player-coach arrangement, insiders indicate it may be a two-year player contract. Mark McCall, Saracens' coach, anticipates Farrell’s return could benefit younger players, highlighting his potential coaching influence.
Farrell spent 16 seasons in north London in his first spell, winning six Premiership titles and three European Cups. He took a break from international rugby after the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Sarries boss Mark McCall said Farrell would be an asset on and off the pitch were he to return. 'He doesn't have to play 10, he can play other positions as well,' McCall said.
