On 24 March 2005, Farrell announced his retirement from rugby league in order to play at Saracens and the Rugby Football Union. A series of injuries and accidents (including a car crash) meant that his début in the 15-man code was delayed until 2006.NEWS,weblink The Guardian, Shock back operation ends Farrell's England plans, 19 December 2005, 11 January 2024, NEWS,weblink Bracknell News, Andy Farrell's elevation to Lions head coach follows impressive Ireland impact, 11 January 2024, 11 January 2024, He finally made a try-scoring début for Saracens reserves on 11 September 2006.NEWS,weblink BBC News, Farrell finally joins the union, 12 September 2006, Farrell then made his first-team début against Newcastle Falcons on 17 September 2006 as a replacement.

He was selected as a part of the England Elite squad for the 2007 Six Nations by new coach Brian Ashton. He was seen by some to be the main contender for the starting inside centre position, after England's problems in that position during the 2006 autumn internationals.Farrell made his England début at Twickenham after he was named at inside centre in the first Six Nations game against Scotland. The 2007 World Cup saw Farrell starting at inside centre against South Africa, in England's chastening group stage defeat.WEB, Catt will start at fly half, 13 September 2007, IRB Rugby World Cup 2007,weblinkweblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20140810150551weblink">weblink 10 August 2014, dead, He was then brought on as a replacement against Tonga, and scored his first England try. However, after being picked for the quarter-final decider against Australia he had to withdraw with a calf injury. Unfortunately, he never produced the performances for the England union side for which many had hoped, and ultimately he won only eight caps. In January 2008 Farrell was joined at Saracens by his 16-year-old son Owen Farrell, who signed a three-year academy deal with the club. In August 2008 Farrell was named co-captain for the 2008â09 season along with Steve Borthwick. There were rumours of Farrell returning to rugby league and rejoining Wigan Warriors after it emerged that Saracens head coach Eddie Jones had become unhappy with the direction his club was taking. It was rumoured that Jones and Farrell could be moving up north, with the Warriors becoming increasingly impatient with out-of-favour Brian Noble, especially after their poor start to the season; however this proved to be unfounded, with the Warriors instead hiring Melbourne Storm assistant coach Michael Maguire. In April 2009 Farrell announced his retirement and said he was taking up a coaching role with Saracens at the end of the season.Rugby coaching career
