MAPLETOFT TO DEPART QUINS AFTER DECADE-LONG STINT
Tuesday, 5th May 2020 @ 15:00
HARLEQUINS CONFIRM THE DEPARTURE OF LONG-SERVING COACH MARK
MAPLETOFT
After a decade in the Quarters, academy coach Mark Mapletoft
will leave Harlequins at the end of the 2019/20 season. First
joining the Club under former Director of Rugby Conor O’Shea in
2010, a ten-year tenure with Harlequins has seen the former
England fly-half hold the roles of Attack Coach, Backs Coach and
Head Coach, before taking up his current title of Academy Coach
in July of last year.
During his time with the Club, Mapletoft played a key role in
the winning of major silverware, most notably the 2011/12
Premiership and 2010/11 European Challenge Cup titles.
Speaking following confirmation of his departure, Mapletoft
said: “The 2011/12 Premiership final will always stand as the
highlight of my time with Harlequins. To see such a talented
side lift the trophy against opposition as tough as Leicester
Tigers was a special moment.
“It’s been a privilege to work with genuine Harlequins legends
over the years and the squad from that final will always hold a
special place in my heart”
Commenting on Mapletoft’s departure, Harlequins General Manager
Billy Millard said: “Tofty [Mapletoft] has been a key part of
Harlequins’ DNA for a decade, it’s no coincidence the Club
achieved some of its most notable silverware during his time
with Quins.
“From the first XV to our current academy setup, Mark has had a
real and lasting impact, and we wish him nothing but the best in
his future.”

The writing has been on the wall but was a breath of fresh air
when he joined.

leave and work with him .....
