French club Racing 92 have confirmed England fly-half Owen Farrell will join them next season.
The 32-year-old will leave Saracens after 15 seasons to move across the Channel after agreeing a two-year contract.
Farrell, who is to miss the Six Nations in order to prioritise his mental well-being, will become ineligible for international selection due to Rugby Football Union rules.
The RFU does not allow players who are plying their trade abroad to be selected for England.
