The former Saracens captain has made 256 appearances for the club, as well as 112 for England, and has won six Test caps for the British and Irish Lions
"Saracens is my home and the opportunity to come back is one that excites me enormously," he said.
"Having watched from afar this season, it is clear to see that the club has incredible potential, and I can't wait to get back in the mix for the 25/26 season."
Director of rugby Mark McCall said the playmaker has "Saracens in his DNA".
"His competitive spirit is woven into the fabric of this club, and we are delighted he has chosen to come home," he said.
"He returns to a young group full of potential, players eager to learn, play and push for success. We know he will love being part of where this group, and this club, are headed."
