England's Danny Care signs new deal with Harlequins

Harlequins have confirmed that England international Danny Care has signed a new contract with the Gallagher Premiership club.

Care started his professional rugby debut with Leeds in 2003 and switched to Harlequins in 2006. Since joining the club, he is nearing 350 appearances for the club. He is also the only player from Harlequins to have scored 100 tries.

In the Premiership alone, Care has made 260 appearances scoring 83 tries. Care also captained Quins during the 2015/16 and 2016/17 campaigns, leading the team to a European Rugby Challenge Cup final.

“Pulling on the Quins jersey has been and continues to be one of the proudest parts of my career and I’m delighted to sign on again with Harlequins," he told the club's official website.

“I’ve been with this club for the better part of two decades and I cherish some incredible memories from the things we have achieved so far.

"The Challenge Cup win in 2011 and the Premiership titles in 2012 and 2021 are some of the highlights of my career and I know this group is capable of creating moments of the same calibre.”

The 35-year-old made his England debut in 2008 and has played 87 times for his country. He was also part of their squad in the series win over Australia during the summer tour.

“It’s great to have Danny sign a new contract with the Club. He is one of the all-time greats for Harlequins and I know this news will come as a huge boost for our fantastic supporters," said Harlequins Attack and Backs Coach Nick Evans.

“Danny is a leading figure within this squad and whenever he is on the pitch you can see his influence and input on how we play our brand of rugby.

“His return to the international scene earlier this year reflects just how hard he has continued to work over a nearly 20-year rugby career. His professionalism is second to none and we are thrilled to have him recommit to the team.”
