Saracens have insisted no offer has been made to bring Andy Farrell to the club after the 2027 World Cup.

Reports in the last week had linked the Ireland head coach with a return to the club where first made the switch from rugby league to union as a player.

His son Owen is also back at the Stonex Stadium for a second stint after a brief period in France with Racing 92.

“Andy has not discussed his future with anyone on the board or ownership group of Saracens and we can categorically state, despite numerous reports to the contrary in the press, that no offer has been made to Andy,” a club statement read.

“Andy has long-standing and deep personal ties to Saracens. He represented the club as a player between 2005 and 2009 and remains closely affiliated with the club through his family, as the father of Owen Farrell, one of the most significant players in Saracens’ history and a current member of the squad.

“The misguided reporting is disrespectful to Brendan Venter who will be assuming the DOR [Director of Rugby] responsibilities from Mark McCall at the end of the 25/26 season. It is also disrespectful to Andy and the IRFU.

“Given Andy’s close relationship with Saracens, the club looks forward to welcoming him to more home fixtures once the Six Nations Championship has concluded.”
