Dickson commits to Quins

Harlequins scrum-half Karl Dickson has extended his contract with the Aviva Premiership club.

Quins announced that 32-year-old Dickson's new deal will run until the end of the 2016-17 season. He moved to the Twickenham Stoop from Bedford in 2009.

" Karl is one of the most competitive and best people you will come across," Quins rugby director Conor O'Shea said.

" He has achieved a lot over the years with us, and I know he will keep on pushing us and himself to be better."
