Joe Launchbury (Retirement)
Joe Launchbury will call time on a decorated career at the end of the campaign.
The former England international earned more than 70 caps and was a cornerstone of elite forward packs for over a decade. Since arriving at Quins, his experience and lineout leadership have been invaluable, although injuries have limited his influence in recent seasons.
A low-profile figure off the pitch, but widely regarded as one of the most consistent locks of his era.
Titi Lamositele (Linked – Stade Rochelais)
Titi Lamositele looks set for a move to France, with Midi Olympique reporting strong interest from Stade Rochelais.
At 31, the USA international remains a high-level operator. His ability to switch between tighthead and loosehead significantly increases his value, particularly for clubs competing on multiple fronts.
La Rochelle’s powerful forward-oriented approach would appear a natural fit.
Jarrod Evans (Expected – Cardiff Rugby)
Jarrod Evans is set for a return home, with Cardiff Rugby leading the race for his signature.
Evans has rebuilt momentum at Harlequins after earlier injury setbacks. Following the departure of Warren Gatland, he has re-entered the Wales frame and is pushing to secure a place ahead of the next Rugby World Cup.
Regular minutes will be key, making a move back to Wales logical.
