England centre Owen Farrell has agreed a new contract with Saracens.

Farrell helped Saracens to the Aviva Premiership title last season and has seen his reputation continue to grow.

The 20-year-old has scored 603 points in 46 appearances for Saracens since graduating through the club's academy.

Farrell went on to make his international debut in the RBS Six Nations win over Scotland this season, before kicking England to victory over Italy.

Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall 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."

Farrell is one of 18 members of the Saracens squad to have agreed new deals - with England lock Mauritz Botha and number eight Ernst Joubert also putting pen to paper.

"Ernst has been one of the pillars of the Saracens revival over the past few years, and we are thrilled he has committed his future to the club," said McCall.

"Mouritz's progress over the past few years has been fantastic and we genuinely believe the best is yet to come."
