In an exciting move, Harlequins Rugby Football Club has announced the acquisition of four new players to their roster, signaling their intentions to strengthen their team for the upcoming 2023/24 season.
Among the notable signings are three international stars, adding an impressive level of skill and experience to the club.
With the likes of Joe Marchant and Wilco Louw departing the club, Quins has wasted no time in reinforcing their ranks, making strategic additions to their squad.
Speaking about the new signings, Harlequins’ Director of Rugby expressed his excitement and confidence in the team’s strengthened lineup for the upcoming season.
He noted that these signings will bring a wealth of experience, talent, and international pedigree to the squad, which will undoubtedly raise the level of competition within the club and drive them towards their goals.
Harlequins new signings:
#1. Will Porter from Bristol Bears
Joining from Bristol Bears, the 24-year-old will link up with Quins this summer to add yet further depth at number nine, alongside Danny Care who extended his Harlequins contract at Christmas.
A product of the Wasps academy prior to his successful mid-season move to Bristol Bears this campaign, Porter previously represented England at U17, U18 and U19 level before making his mark on the Gallagher Premiership for Wasps against Bristol Bears in 2018.
Born in Philadelphia before moving to the UK at the age of one, Porter represented Wasps on 58 occasions, helping the side reach the 2019 Premiership 7s final. To date, Porter has featured for Bristol four times.
Commenting on his move, Porter said: “Harlequins is an exciting club to join and I’m looking forward to playing my part in the team.
“Quins are a club that, much like Bristol, play a really positive brand of rugby and it will be great to get stuck into their game plan.”
