Promising centre Owen Farrell has committed his future to Aviva Premiership champions Saracens, as the club continue to extend deals for a host of first-team players.
The 20-year-old has established himself as a key member of the squad at Vicarage Road, having helped the side beat Leicester Tigers in the Grand Final last season.
Now Farrell has made the step up to international level in this year’s Six Nations competition and has guided England to victories over both Scotland and Italy, with a crucial game against Wales coming up this weekend at Twickenham.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall believes the son of former rugby league star Andy Farrell has a bright future at the highest level ahead of him.
He said: "Owen obviously has a wonderfully exciting future in the game, at club and international level, and we are delighted he has pledged his future to Saracens."
England are 2.50 to beat Wales and deny them the Triple Crown, with the visitors 1.61 to secure a win at Twickenham and 1.36 to go on and seal a Grand Slam.
