Joe Marler, the England international prop has put pen to paper on a new deal with Harlequins FC, a statement from the Aviva Premiership Rugby Football Union club announced. This new deal sees the England man pledge his future to the club beyond the current season with the new contract running till the end of the 2016 season.
A product of the fabled youth academy of the club, Marler has notched up over 100 senior appearances for the club since he was first handed the chance to play for the senior side back in 2010 and during that time, his career has skyrocketed and he is now considered as one of the most premier front row players in all of the Northern Hemisphere.
The 23 year old was a key player as Harlequins FC won the European Challenge Cup in 2011 and the Aviva Premiership in 2012 and having secured all major honors in various age group levels for England, he has 19 international caps to his name already.
Most recently, he helped the national team secure the Triple Crown title, the first time they have done it in ten years and played all but one match in the Six Nations Championship for Stuart Lancaster’s side.
Conor O’Shea, the Director of Rugby of the London club announced the deal and he expressed his delight at the new contract as well. He mentioned that it was almost unbelievable that he has notched up more than 100 appearances for the club at 23 years of age.
The Harlequins FC boss went on to add Marler still has a lot to give to the club and like everyone associated with the club, he is hungry for more success and trophies and his extension signals exciting times ahead for both club and the country.
