Cadan Murley – Harlequins
The latest star to explode out of Twickenham Stoop, Cadan Murley has been amongst the England conversation since the appointment of Head Coach Steve Borthwick. The flying Harlequins winger was initially brought into the camp ahead of the 2023 Six Nations, yet Murley was let go back to his club, with veteran winger Jonny May preferred in the following week’s camps.
Murley went on to have an unignorable season, finishing at the top of the try-scoring charts after crossing for 15 tries in the latest Premiership season. A source of many ‘try-lights’, Murley’s best photo finish came early on this campaign.
The 23-year-old’s diving try against Northampton Saints in October, after beating three back-peddling defenders along the left wing, certainly got the conversation started for an England call-up. Murley has only gotten better since, so be prepared to see some exhilarating runs in the England shirt this Summer.
Murley did not reach top spot by dotting down easy overlap scores, and has the running records to bolster his claim for an England debut. Murley also topped the Premiership charts for clean breaks this season, making 30 in an exhilarating year. Murley is hopeful to join his Harlequins teammates whilst ‘wearing the rose’, with Murley providing an exciting uncapped asset to Borthwick’s squad.
