Sacarens have reached an agreement with Racing 92, which will see Owen Farrell rejoin the club on a two-year deal after spending a year with the French club.
Farrell 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.
“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.”
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said: “Owen has Saracens in his DNA; his competitive spirit is woven into the fabric of this club, and we are delighted he has chosen to come home.
“He returns to a young group full of potential, players eager to learn, play and push for success. We know he will love being part of where this group, and this club, are headed.”
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.
