The 22-year-old, from Croydon, has made 37 Quins appearances, scoring 16 tries in the famous Quarters since signing ahead of the 2018/2019 season.

A graduate of Cardiff Metropolitan University, where he represented Wales at U20 level, Dombrandt is renowned for his powerful running and offload game, demonstrating his physical strengths in his first two seasons at the Club.
