WILL PORTER SIGNS FOR 23/24 SEASON
Scrum-half Will Porter has been revealed as Harlequins’ latest
signing ahead of the 2023/24 season. Joining from Bristol Bears,
the 24-year-old will link up with Quins this summer to add yet
further depth at number nine, alongside Danny Care who extended
his Harlequins contract at Christmas.
A product of the Wasps academy prior to his successful
mid-season move to Bristol Bears this campaign, Porter
previously represented England at U17, U18 and U19 level before
making his mark on the Gallagher Premiership for Wasps against
Bristol Bears in 2018.
Born in Philadelphia before moving to the UK at the age of one,
Porter represented Wasps on 58 occasions, helping the side reach
the 2019 Premiership 7s final. To date, Porter has featured for
Bristol four times.
Commenting on his move, Porter said: “Harlequins is an exciting
club to join and I’m looking forward to playing my part in the
team.
“Quins are a club that, much like Bristol, play a really
positive brand of rugby and it will be great to get stuck into
their game plan.”
Harlequins Head Coach Tabai Matson said: “Will is a great
operator who has excelled with two top Premiership sides in
Wasps and Bristol.
“He will add further quality depth at scrum-half for us and
we’re looking forward to seeing how he fits in this summer. We
feel that his skills will suit our way of playing well and it
will be exciting to see what he can do within this Quins side.”

Is Rafi out of contract this season? If he isn't then still hope
we can pick him up when DC goes.
Fairly good signing, I think a more suitable deputy (certainly
starting) then any of our other offerings.

Alledgedly. But other that Banners' constant pipe dreams, there
haven't been any whispers of him not staying put.
Besides, I heard he can't wear French Grey - clashes with his
eyes🤣

This is a sensible signing.
He's certainly a cut above Gjaltema and Stafford, and will be a
good long-term deputy.
We will then bring in a like-for-like replacement for DC when he
hangs up his boots at the end of next season.
Might mean Steele is off at the end of the season?

Pleased to hear this - tho had always thought that Harry Randall
would be the best fit for Quins.

Marcus played with Randall all the way through age grade, didn’t
he? They seemed to have a really good understanding when they
played together a couple of summers back.

Fantastic. I've been wanting us to sign him for a while, I think
he's a real talent who has the right approach to the game that
should really suit us. I also think he's easily good enough to
become first choice; certainly there were long stretches at
Wasps where he was the better option out of him and Robson.

I think Randall re-signed for Bristol last year don’t know if 2
years. But we need the equivalent of Karl Dickson if we are
going to have a 9 anywhere near the England squad. We can’t
loose 9 and 10 for half the season every year without excellent
understudies
