Harlequins is excited to announce the signing of hooker George
Turner ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Turner, 32, arrives with a wealth of experience, having earned
45 caps for Scotland and represented his country in both the
2019 and 2023 Rugby World Cups.
A product of Edinburgh's youth system, Turner made his
professional debut with the club before joining Glasgow Warriors
in 2017.
Over seven seasons at Scotstoun, he earned 102 appearances and
became a key figure in the Warriors' forward pack, known for his
dynamic scrummaging, quick ball distribution, and work rate
around the park.
In June 2024, Turner made the move to Japan's Kobe Steelers and
has contributed to the team's growth in Japan Rugby League One.

“I’m really looking forward to this next step in my career.
After some fantastic years in Scotland and a new experience in
Japan, the opportunity to join this club came at the perfect
time,” said Turner.
“It’s an exciting challenge and one I’m ready for. I’m eager to
get stuck into pre-season, meet the squad, and contribute to
what this team is building. The ambition here is clear, and I’m
proud to be joining Harlequins.”
Head Coach, Danny Wilson added: “We’re delighted to welcome
George to Harlequins ahead of next season. He’s a proven
international talent with 45 Scotland caps and a century of
appearances at Glasgow Warriors.
“George is a physical, uncompromising hooker who thrives in the
collision, bringing intensity and aggression on both sides of
the ball. His experience and dynamism will be a huge asset to
our forward pack.”

I'm looking forward to clicking on that link because I've never
heard of him, and the anticipation of finding out which position
he plays is growing the longer I type this reply.

Good lord, 40 odd caps and his name isn't familiar to me!

A fine player, probably should have been a Lion in 2021.
On the other hand, again, another one older than 30, and we have
3 hookers (Riley/Walker/Musk) in the 1st team squad and 4 in the
academy.
Seems like more muddled thinking unless Walker is off to France
(as has previously been rumoured)

interesting one. I didn't see hooker as a priority position, but
we have 3 good options there now.
I just hope there's some looseheads and a 12 to follow!
It does seem like quins are very good at keeping their signings
below the radar, never seem to see many rumours before people
are announced!

To be fair we only have two hookers who are in the first picks
category. If this fella is as uncompromising as Wilson says then
he sounds like the sort of character we need.
