Owen Farrell has reportedly become England’s highest paid player ever after agreeing on a new contract with Saracens.
The fly-half has been one of the best players in the world for the last decade. An instrumental player for both club and country, Farrell has continually impressed the rugby world with his goal-kicking and game management.
Owen continues to lead from the front, with over 100 caps for his country and 200 for Saracens, having made his breakthrough in the 2010/11 season, where he helped spearhead Saracens to their first Premiership title, with victory over Leicester Tigers at Twickenham.
The England captain is entering the final year of his current deal with the reigning Premiership champions and has given assurances that he will extend his stay with the north London club.
Farrell, who last sign
Here is the full list below.
#5. Sam Burgess (Bath Rugby) – £640,000 per season
England, who fast-tracked Burgess into their World Cup squad in defiance of logic, Bath and the player himself each shoulder varying degrees of blame for arguably the greatest cross-code flop in history.
We’re not saying he was an awful player, but the whole thing was a complete disaster. At least he was highly-paid for the wholly embarrassing situation.
