Cadan Murley signs new Harlequins contract

Harlequins have announced that Cadan Murley has signed a new contract with the Club, after a brilliant start to the season for the young winger.

The 19-year-old  joined full-time last season and only made his senior squad debut in January 2018 against Scarlets in the Anglo-Welsh Cup.
      

But he has made an explosive start to this season with Quins under Head of Rugby Paul Gustard, making nine appearances and scoring two tries as the Club have risen to third in the Gallagher Premiership and reached the Challenge Cup quarter-finals.

Gustard said: “We have been so pleased with Cadan’s work-rate, as well as his unquestionable skill and he thoroughly deserves his new contract with the club.

“The way he has already become such a valued member of matchday squads in such a short space of time is testament to the energy he brings to the group in which he has helped create the winning mentality that we are establishing at the Club.

“He is like an extra forward the way he approaches the game. He is very tough, he is quick and powerful through contact and he is a very good defender.

“He has impressed me personally with his tenacity, fight, eagerness to learn and hunger to get better. He is a joy to coach and I am confident he will prove to be a quality player for this club for a long time. There is so much more to come from Cadan and I am sure he will also be able to play at 13 for us as he develops his all-round skill set.

“He is a brilliant kid, his maturity and self-awareness were made very clear to me in pre-season when he excused himself from a squad excursion to represent the Club in the 7s which showed me the kind of attitude that I know is crucial in squads that win championships."
