Paul Lasike re-signs for Harlequins

Destructive USA international and ex-NFL star Paul Lasike has committed his future to Harlequins.

First arriving at The Stoop in the summer of 2018 from Major League Rugby side the Utah Warriors, Lasike has fast become a first fan favourite and a key cog in the new Quins era, regularly seen punching holes in Premiership and European defences.

Lasike, 29, previously played in the NFL with the Chicago Bears between 2015 and 2017 before embarking on a career in rugby union.

🗣 "It's the best rugby I have played in my career. I'm really excited. It was a no-brainer to sign."

On signing on for more with Harlequins, Lasike said: “I’m delighted to re-commit to Quins. I’ve loved the last two seasons here wearing the Quarters and running out at The Stoop. The boys and the supporters are some of the best I’ve ever seen, and I’m thrilled to know my family and I will remain at Harlequins.

“There is a real feeling that the Club are building something under Gussy, and I’m excited to continue playing my part in that plan. With players as young and as talented as Marcus Smith, Gabriel Ibitoye and Alex Dombrandt, among many, running out each week, I know big things are coming.”
