Harlequins have announced that England and British and Irish Lions prop, Joe Marler, has committed his long-term future to the Club.

Confirming the news Marler said: “Re-signing for my childhood club has made me very happy. John Kingston has recruited strongly over the summer and he is starting to really mark his identity with this exciting group of players.

“I strongly believe we have a squad capable of going places and I’m really excited for the new season.”

Marler, who was contracted until 2018, has extended his deal by a further three years, keeping him with Harlequins, his only club, until at least 2021.
