Nick David is the latest Harlequin to commit his future to the
Club after signing a new deal.
Twenty-six-year-old David is the eighth senior squad member to
put pen to paper in recent weeks and remain at The Stoop for
seasons to come.
Blessed with a lethal sidestep and blistering pace, David has
registered 14 tries in 57 appearances for Harlequins since his
arrival from Worcester Warriors in the summer of 2021.
The Redditch-born back is equally comfortable running
devastating running lines from wing or full-back and is enjoying
regular rugby after returning from a shoulder injury that
sidelined him for the backend of the 2023/24 campaign.
David has featured on eight occasions already this term, in
which he’s demonstrated his ability with ball in hand beating 16
defenders and making four clean breaks.
“I’m absolutely ecstatic to extend my time at Harlequins - it’s
my home. There is a great group of lads and coaches here, and
the way we want to play suits my attributes,” said David.
“My time here has gone quite quickly - I’ve been here for four
seasons now! Learning from not just the quality coaches here,
but the players we have too has really accelerated my game and
I’m excited to see what the future brings.”
Harlequins Head Coach, Danny Wilson added: “Nick has a strong
running game, and that makes him a real threat with ball in
hand. He’s a versatile player who can play across the back
three, which allows him to make an impact in multiple areas on
the pitch.
“He possesses a diligent work ethic and strives to maximise his
development both on and off the field throughout the week. Nick
is also a popular member of the squad, who is well respected by
the players and staff. We’re all thrilled he’ll remain at the
Club.”

Another good squad player who I'm more than happy to have.
Rarely lets us down when he starts and is versatile.
Is he going to elevate us to Premiership glory? No, but players
of his ilk are valuable in our squad. Thought he might look for
pastures new with a bit of traffic in his way but happy
nonetheless. Also chatted to him briefly in The Alma after
Toulouse pumped us at the Stoop and he was a very nice guy.
Just want the Smith renewal to drop in!!

Not enthused by this one. For someone blessed with a 'lethal
sidestep, blistering pace and running devastating lines', 14
tries in 47 appearances is a poor return. Plus his defence is
still not up to scratch across a whole match. I also don't feel
he's involved enough in the good things that happen or does
enough to spark good things.

Can't disagree that the article's description is somewhat
generous but do think he has his qualities. Before busting his
shoulder last season I think he was one of our form players. Not
going to set the world alight but think not bad and I imagine
won't be too expensive.

Maybe some articles in the media but nothing official unless I'm
mistaken

David is a much better fullback then wing. Unfortunately for
him, he's behind Green and has also had to suffer the Marcus to
15 experiment.
He can cover wing but Murley, Isgro and Cleaves are all better
options there (and possibly Beard too).
With a run of games at fullback he's an asset, but can't see him
getting much game time.
