HARLEQUINS IS DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT FIN BAXTER HAS SIGNED A
LONG-TERM CONTRACT EXTENSION WITH THE CLUB.
The loosehead prop joined the Quins Academy system aged 13 and
made his way through the age groups to make his senior debut in
last season’s Champions Cup fixture at The Stoop against Racing
92.
A former England U18 captain, Baxter was recently called into
the England U20 side ahead of the U20 Six Nations after
featuring seven times for the previous national age group.
The seventh player to re-commit to Harlequins over the last
seven days Baxter, 19, has made four senior appearances for the
Club to date, last featuring in the thrilling 52-24 victory over
Bristol Bears at The Stoop earlier this season.

Commenting on his new deal, Baxter said: “I’m thrilled to
re-sign. I’ve loved every moment with Quins so far and can’t
wait to continue playing my part in this team.
“I’ve enjoyed the opportunities I’ve had so far in the senior
team and am lucky to be able to have the ability to learn off
internationals props like Joe Marler and Santi [Garcia Botta]
week in, week out. To be able to work with a coach as
experienced as Adam Jones as well if fantastic for my
development.
“Quins is my boyhood club and I’m proud to be able to run out
for a Club with such an exciting style of play.”
Scrum Coach Adam Jones said: “It’s great to have Fin re-sign.
He’s a talented prop with an impressive ability to front up
physically around the park and in the set-piece at a relatively
young age for his position. He’s an incredibly coachable player
and has developed well over the last two seasons.
“Outside of the usual roles of a front row, he also has the
skills to play the kind of rugby that we’ve become well-known
for as a team. It’s great to have a player of Fin’s potential
recommit to the Club."

Loose head? It looks like it's been hammered into place if you
ask me

It's probably easier when a Prop is young & hasn't had a season
or at senior level to be able to swap sides. His musculature is
still flexible enough to adapt & he's not going to be ingrained
into the "dark arts" of either of the two positions to the point
where learning to swap is difficult.

The clear heir apparent to Marler. Looks to have the talent for
it, but he'll have a tall order to be as much of a character.

Brilliant point Fred, much easier when you don't have 75 caps in
a single position to swap.
