Farrell won his sixth Premiership title with Saracens last May and his first as club captain
Racing 92 have announced the signing of England and Saracens fly-half Owen Farrell at the end of the season.
The French Top 14 side said Farrell has signed a two-year deal starting on 1 July.
The 32-year-old Saracens captain has spent his whole career at the StoneX Stadium having made his debut aged 17.
Saracens team-mate Jamie George, 33, will lead England in the forthcoming Six Nations.
Farrell has won three Six Nations titles with England, including a Grand Slam in 2016, and was part of the team who lost to South Africa in the 2019 World Cup final.
He will link up at Racing 92 with former England head coach Stuart Lancaster, who gave him his international debut against Scotland in the 2012 Six Nations.
Farrell has made more than 200 appearances for Saracens in all competitions, winning six Premiership titles and three European Rugby Champions Cups.
He made his first-team debut for the north London club in 2008 and became English professional rugby’s then youngest ever player.
The number 10 also stayed with the team through the 2020-21 season when the club was relegated to the Championship because of salary cap breaches and made captain of the side in 2021.
In 2016, Farrell also kicked all 21 points as Saracens won their first European title against Racing 92, and was part of the sides that lifted the trophy in 2017 and 2019 too.
This season, Farrell has played nine times for Sarries in all competitions after leading England to the semi-final of the 2023 World Cup in France, where they suffered a heartbreaking 16-15 loss against South Africa.
