Harlequins scrum-half Will Porter has signed a new contract to extend his stay at The Stoop following an impressive start to the 2026/27 Gallagher PREM season.
The 27-year-old has made seven appearances this campaign, scoring twice as he continues to play an important role in Jason Gilmore's squad.
Will Porter Commits Future to Harlequins
Porter joined Harlequins from Bristol Bears ahead of the 2023/24 season and has since made 66 appearances, scoring 18 tries for the club.
The former Wasps Academy player has impressed this season, crossing against Bath in the PREM opener before adding another try against Saracens on derby day.
Porter has also represented England at age-grade level and featured for England A in 2024 and 2025.
“It’s feels amazing. I’m really excited to commit a few more years to the Club,” said Porter to the club's official website.
“We’re building a great culture within the group and it’s a great environment to train and play in, and I think playing at The Stoop in front of our amazing fans is a big benefit.
“I’ve enjoyed my rugby the most since playing at Harlequins.
"As a player, I feel as though I have developed my running game to be more of a threat, and my game management side and that’s down to the coaches and players I am getting to work with day-in, day-out.”
Jason Gilmore Praises Porter's Performances
Harlequins head coach Jason Gilmore welcomed the contract extension and highlighted Porter's importance to the team's attacking approach.
The coach praised Porter's distribution from the breakdown, attacking instincts and kicking game, describing him as an important member of the club's scrum-half group.
“Ports has been in good form for us this season. The scrum-half role is fundamental to our game model, and you can see through his performances this season he has a great understanding of what we’re wanting to implement through what he is executing," said Gilmore.
“He plays an important role in our strong scrum-half group and wider squad.
"When he’s on the pitch, he’s a real game driver for us with his delivery from the base as well as knowing when to threaten round the fringes of the breakdown, and when to move us up the field through his kicking game.
“We’re delighted Will is going to remain at the Club for seasons to come".
