Owen Farrell says he wants to get back to “loving every minute” of rugby with Saracens after returning to the club following a “difficult year” playing in France.
The 33-year-old former Sarries captain said his remaining years were “more and more precious”, having made just 17 appearances in his one season with Racing 92.
Farrell completed his return to the club where he spent 16 glittering seasons and became England skipper, on Monday.
“I feel it’s best. I’ve had a difficult enough year and these years now are getting more and more precious and I’m determined now to make the most of everything that is to come,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“I think for everyone and for me this is the best place to do it.”
Farrell began his professional career with Saracens in 2008 and made 256 appearances for the north London club.
Alongside fellow England stalwarts Maro Itoje, Jamie George and Mako and Billy Vunipola, Farrell was part of a dominant Sarries team that won six Premiership titles and three European Champions Cups, including the double in 2016 and 2019.
“I want to get back here at Saracens and I want to get back to loving every minute of it. I want to get myself into a really good place and I think that’s the starting point for me,” he said.
