THREE PLAYERS RELEASED FROM WOWLRD CUP SQUAD:

#1. CADAN MURLEY

Murley joined Harlequins’ Academy full-time in the 2017/18 season.

He made his debut for the Club against Scarlets in the Anglo-Welsh Cup in January 2018.

A combative runner who represented England U18s and England U20s, Murley has enjoyed a steady rise in the pecking order at the Club since the 2018/19 season where he scored three tries in 12 appearances.

He followed that up with seven tries in 20 games in 2019/20 and three tries in 14 appearances in 2020/21 including a start in the Premiership Final win over Exeter. 

He brought up his 50th appearance in the first home match of the current season against Worcester Warriors.
