Danny Care signs new Harlequins contract

Harlequins have announced that Danny Care has signed a new two-year contract with the Club.

England’s most capped Scrum-half Care, who joined Quins in 2006 from Leeds, celebrated his 250th appearance for Harlequins earlier this season and has now scored 76 tries for the Club.

Head of Rugby Paul Gustard said: “Danny epitomises all that is good about Harlequins and I know everyone at the Club joins me in congratulating him on his new contract.

“Danny offers something different in every match we play and he is a player that you never want to come up against. He sees things before we do up in the crow’s nest and he has the skill, bravery and courage to make the decision and execute. There are very few players in the world - never mind the country - that have his talent allied to his level of consistency in performance.

“He has bought into everything that we are trying to achieve here at Harlequins and he always brings that sense of fun that makes training so enjoyable with him around.

“He has a huge part to play in our quest for future honours. He has been the (self-proclaimed) talisman of the squad before handing over the title to the ever-smiling Mike Brown. Titles, talisman or not, DC is a crucial player for this club. He continues to impress, innovate and excite. He continues to bring energy, love and support and has been exceptional for us this season in all aspects of his play.”

In his 13 years at The Stoop he has won the Premiership (2012) as well as the European Challenge Cup (2011).
