Harlequins they have tied down in-form scrum-half Will Porter to a new deal after an impressive start to the season.
The 27-year-old has featured seven times already this campaign and Jason Gilmore described him as “a real driver of the game” in a position he feels is crucial to the way Quins want to play.
Porter also provided a regular scoring threat, switching against Bath on the opening weekend of the Gallagher PREM season before adding another try against Saracens.
His new contract extends his spell at The Stoop which began in 2023 following his move Bristol Bears. Ex Wasps the academy player has since amassed 66 appearances and 18 tries, while also representing England And in each of the past two years.
Porter believes his time at Quins brought him the best rugby of his career.
“It feels amazing. I’m really excited to dedicate a few more years to the club,” he said.
“We’re building a great culture within the group and it’s a great environment to train and play.
“I’ve enjoyed my rugby the most since playing at Harlequins. As a player, I feel like I’ve developed my running game to be more of a threat, as well as my game management side.”
Gilmore highlighted Porter’s ability to dictate matches from half-half, both through his serve and his threat around the break.
“He plays an important role in our strong scrum-half group and the wider team,” he said.
“When he’s on the court, he’s a real game driver for us.
“We are delighted that Will will remain at the club for the coming seasons.”
