Marcus Smith has signed a new long-term deal that will keep him at Harlequins until at least 2028.
The 25-year-old Englishman has committed his future to Quins, the club that has overseen his development from academy talent to one of the best players in his position in the world.
Smith became the second-youngest player in Gallagher Premiership history to make his debut when he started for his boyhood club against London Irish in September 2017, aged just 18 years and 200 days.
He made 166 appearances for Queens, scoring 35 tries and 1,505 points, and was instrumental in the 2020/21 Gallagher Premier League title, where he finished the season as the league’s top scorer.
“I am very excited to sign a new contract with Harlequins,” said Smith. “I love the club, it has given me and my family so much over the years and I am looking forward to the future here.
“Every time I walk into the stadium I’m excited about the future of the club because I see the level of talent we have in the building. We’ve always prided ourselves on our homegrown talent and I think we’ll all see more of that in the coming seasons.
“Every time I play at The Stoop, I feel the love and support from the fans, not only for me, but for the team. I think they are the best support in this league. Personally and collectively, we all are. grateful to them.
Smith underlined his world-class credentials with four electric performances in England’s Autumn Nations Series campaign.
“I’ve been through the academy and I’m still playing with a lot of my best friends, hopefully together we can achieve more of our dreams.”
Smith has made 39 appearances and scored 284 points for England and has been called up for the British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa in 2021.
