Owen Farrell

Owen Farrell is one of England’s finest ever fly halves. He’s been capped by the national team more than 100 times and has made six test appearances for the British and Irish Lions. He spent most of his senior career at Saracens, but moved to Racing 92 in 2024. 

Born on 24 September 1991, Owen Farrell started playing rugby league in his hometown of Wigan when he was eight. When his father, Andy Farrell, signed for Saracens in 2005, Owen moved to Hertfordshire and was introduced to rugby union. 

Farrell took to the new code quickly. In 2008 he became the youngest player ever to appear in a professional rugby union game in England after playing for Saracens in the EDF Energy Cup just 11 days after his 17th birthday.

Owen Farrell then played for Saracens for the majority of his senior career. During this time, he won both the Heineken Champions Cup and the Premiership title on multiple occasions. He also became the club's record point scorer and was named European Player of the Year in 2017 and 2018. 

Although his club career has been hugely impressive, he has truly excelled on the international stage. Throughout his time representing England, he has won the Six Nations Championship multiple times. He also captained England in the 2019 Rugby World Cup, leading the side all the way to the final.

During his illustrious career, Owen Farrell has also been a regular for the British and Irish Lions. In 2013, he was part of the side that won a tour in Australia. Then, in 2017, he played a pivotal role as the team drew with New Zealand. In May 2021, he represented the Lions in South Africa. 

With many years of his professional rugby career still ahead of him, we can't wait to see what the future holds for Owen Farrell.
