Tom Lawday in action for Harlequins
Harlequins can today confirm the senior and academy players who
will depart the Club at the conclusion of the 2025/26 campaign.
As in previous seasons, supporters will have the opportunity to
thank the departing players at Saturday’s Round 18 fixture
against Northampton Saints at The Stoop (Saturday 6 June, KO
15:15).
As previously announced, former captain and Gallagher PREM
winner Stephan Lewies will depart after making 88 appearances
across seven seasons in the Quarters.
Gallagher PREM winner and Club centurion, Tom Lawday, will also
leave the Club at the conclusion of the campaign, having made
104 appearances since arriving in 2019.
Jordan Els, also a league champion, departs The Stoop after 54
appearances since joining the Club in 2020.
Meanwhile, Joe Launchbury will retire from professional rugby
after 17 years at the top level of the game, having made 51
appearances during his time in South West London.
Wales international Jarrod Evans also moves on from The Stoop
following 48 appearances across three seasons in TW2.
A trio of former academy graduates - Jamie Benson (42 apps),
Jake Murray (20 apps) and Hayden Hyde (19 apps) - will also move
on at the end of the season.
Max Green will conclude his second spell at the Club after
making 18 appearances, while George Turner departs following a
single season and 12 appearances in Quins colours.
Joe Jones (5 apps) and Jack Grant (3 apps) will also leave The
Stoop after joining mid-season as short-term cover in key
positions.
Cameron Doak (2 apps), Jack Doorey-Palmer (2 apps), Luke Yendle
(2), Conor Byrne (1 app), Andrew Turner, Felix Champain, Guy
Rogers, Math Jones, Mattias Woollard and Tom Humphreys will also
depart at the conclusion of the season.
Head Coach, Jason Gilmore, said: “This point in the season is
always emotional and can be difficult, because it gives us the
opportunity to recognise and thank players who have made a huge
contribution to Harlequins during their time at the Club.
“Each of these players has represented Quins with commitment,
professionalism and pride, giving everything for the jersey and
for their teammates. They should all be incredibly proud of what
they’ve achieved and the impact they’ve had on and off the
field.
“We’ll come together as a group to celebrate and thank our
departing players, and supporters will also have the chance to
say their goodbyes at The Stoop on Saturday (06 June) following
our fixture against Northampton Saints.”

No serious shocks there thankfully. Was expecting one or two
surprises. I was anticipating Jack Walker also considering that
he hasn't signed a new contract in a few years.

That's a good point re: Titi. I thought the same about H
Williams. Suddenly we seem to have a fairly sizeable bunch of
props when fit (if):
Wenger, Baxter, Titi, H Williams, Streeter, Hobson, Delgado,
Swiegers, Kerrod

And of course NEv. Not playing I know but will be a huge change
for the squad as a whole.

Quite a step down from seasons past, the only one of those that
I'd would have made the grade for us a few seasons ago is
Baxter. More going backwards in the scrum for us next season I
think.

Surprised Cam Anderson is staying also.
Thought him and Titi might also be off.
Not to sound harsh, but there's a bit of deadwood moving on imo,
which is good news

Unless it wasn't entirely in our hands then retaining Lawday is
arguably better in straight choice between the two.
