Owen Farrell’s agent Andy Clarke added: ‘I’ve worked with Essentially a few times during the past year and believe they are the best placed agency to match Owen’s commercial needs. Their global reach and rugby heritage made them an obvious choice for Owen.’
England’s starting fly-half said of the news: ‘I made the decision to sign with a sports agency to manage my growing commercial commitments and I’m really looking forward to building a long-term partnership with Essentially.’
