Chandler Cunningham-South extends stay with Harlequins

Harlequins have confirmed that England international Chandler Cunningham-South has signed a multi-year contract extension, committing his future to the Gallagher Prem club.

The 22-year-old back-rower, who joined the club from London Irish in 2023, has made 35 appearances to date and already stands out as a key figure in the squad.

Cunningham-South began his professional career at London Irish and gained promotion to the senior ranks swiftly. His performances at club level earned him recognition and led to selection in the England national team setup.

“I’m delighted to be re-signing with the Club - it feels good! I think there is a lot more to come from us as team this year and beyond, and I want to be a part of that,” said Cunningham-South to the club's official website.

“The coaches we’ve had come in - Gilly (Jason Gilmore) and Boothy (Toby Booth) - have helped me so much, and the environment they’re creating is amazing.

"Gilly’s detail in defence is exceptional. It’s an area I am trying to improve and he’s putting the time to help me develop. Boothy is old school, he makes me laugh every day and he’s been great with me, especially my work in the lineout.

“I’m feeling more comfortable, trying to express myself on the pitch and add more to the team than I have in previous seasons. I’m determined to keep working on my game and bringing it each week when I put on a Quins shirt.”
