Owen Andrew Farrell (born 24 September 1991) is a professional English rugby union player, currently playing for Aviva Premiership side Saracens. His father is Andy Farrell, who played both rugby league and rugby union for England.
Farrell is a member of the England team, playing at centre, with George Ford playing fly-half.
His preferred position is fly-half, but he often plays at centre.
Farrell was born on 24 September 1991 in Billinge Higher End, Greater Manchester. Farrell is of Irish descent on both his father and mother's side. He began playing rugby league in his hometown at the age of eight for Wigan St Patricks. When his father Andy signed for Saracens in 2005, his family moved to Harpenden where Owen at the age of 13 or 14 was introduced to rugby union for the first time.
Farrell held the record of youngest player ever to appear in English professional rugby union after playing for Saracens 11 days after his 17th birthday, in a 26–17 home defeat against Llanelli Scarlets in the EDF Energy Cup on 5 October 2008, until this record was broken in November 2009 by George Ford of Leicester Tigers.
In the 2010–11 season Farrell signed for Bedford Blues on loan. However he returned to Saracens and was pivotal in the 2010–11 Aviva Premiership Final, kicking five penalties and converting James Short's try, ending with a personal haul of 17 points in the 22–18 victory over reigning champions Leicester Tigers.
