Harlequins have announced that fly-half Jamie Benson has signed a new contract, reaffirming his commitment to the club.
The 22-year-old, a product of the Harlequins Academy, has become an integral part of the team's setup.
Benson made his Gallagher Premiership debut in November 2024 and has since accumulated 20 first-team appearances.
Notably, he played a pivotal role in Harlequins' historic 23-12 victory over Saracens at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in March 2025, marking the club's first away win against Saracens in 13 years. Coming off the bench, Benson scored 13 points, earning the Player of the Match accolade.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the contract extension, Benson stated, "I'm delighted – I have been at the Club since I was 13 years old.
"It’s my boyhood club, and I have been coming to The Stoop from a young age." he added, "Coming out of university and being in the programme full-time for the first time has been a big step up in standard – I’ve made my Premiership debut and earned a few more appearances, so I’m pleased so far."
Head Coach Danny Wilson praised Benson's development, saying, "Jamie is a fantastic young man who has demonstrated a great level of development in the opportunities he’s earned in the first team this season."
He highlighted Benson's accuracy off the kicking tee and his intelligence on the field as key attributes.
