MARCUS SMITH EXTENDS QUINS CONTRACT
Harlequins are pleased to confirm England and British & Irish
Lions fly-half Marcus Smith has signed a contract extension with
the Club.
The Harlequins Academy product has agreed a contract extension
which will see the 24-year-old remain in Quins colours beyond
the 2023/24 season.
Smith has achieved 140 Quins appearances and 1,287 points since
his senior debut in 2017/18. His prolific career to date has
featured numerous accolades, including a staring role in the
famous 2020/21 title winning season. Smith finished as the
Premiership’s top point-scorer with 278 points, helping Quins
clinch the Gallagher Premiership Final with a 40-38 win over
Exeter Chiefs.
The Brighton College product, who grew up in Singapore before
moving to the UK at the age of 13, enjoyed early age-grade
honours with England U17, U18 and U20, before earning his
England debut against the USA in 2021. A week later he was
called up to the British & Irish Lions squad and kicked all
seven conversions in the tour match against the DHL Stormers.
Smith has since achieved 21 caps for England, scoring 152
points. Following another impressive 2022/23 season for Quins,
which saw the fly-half reach 1,000 Premiership points, Smith has
been selected in Steve Borthwick’s Rugby World Cup training
squad.
Commenting on his new contract, Smith said: “I love the Club,
it’s been my home since the age of 14 and I want to repay the
faith shown in me and help Quins win trophies. We have
unfinished business, we want to challenge for titles and create
more memories for our supporters.
“The Club has always been a very special place for me and my
family. Working my way through the Academy and into the senior
squad has been a great experience and I have loved every minute
of it. I can’t wait to pull on the Quarters next season and run
out at The Stoop.”
Director of Rugby Billy Millard commented: “We’re delighted
Marcus has extended his contract. He is a key member of our
squad who displays outstanding commitment to his training and
game development. We’re looking forward to the impact Marcus
will have in Quins colours next season and beyond.”

My guess is 2 years. Anything 3 years or longer is usually
touted as 'long term' but this one wasn't.

Meh. He hasn’t really pushed on since winning the Premiership.
Money could have been spent better elsewhere
