Quins flanker Evans signs new deal

Will Evans has made 97 appearances for Harlequins, winning the Premiership title in 2020-21

Harlequins flanker Will Evans has signed a new contract with the Premiership club.

He follows vice-captain Cadan Murley, scrum-half Will Porter, winger Cassius Cleaves and full-back Tyrone Green in committing his future to the club.

Evans, 27, has made 97 appearances and scored 15 tries in the famous quarters since moving to Twickenham Stoop from Leicester Tigers in 2019.

He was part of the squad that won the Premiership title in 2020-21 and won three club player of the year awards last season.

"On a personal level, last year was the best of my career and I knew I wanted to keep stepping forward with this badge on my chest," he told the club's website.

"We have a load of youngsters coming through, who'll continue to push the club forward and hopefully we can create a lot more memories and ultimately lift more silverware."

Evans has featured in every Premiership fixture for Quins so far this season, scoring three tries.

The club has not specified the length of the new deal.

Harlequins return to league action against Bristol Bears on Friday, 29 November.
