Dino Lamb signs new Harlequins deal

Harlequin has announced today that forward Dino Lamb has extended his time with the Club.

The 6ft 5in, 119kg lock who can also cover backrow has made over 70 appearances for the senior side since making his debut in September 2017 against Northampton Saints.

The powerful forward was a part of the matchday squad that claimed a dramatic 40-38 victory in the highest-ever scoring Gallagher Premiership final in 2021 to clinch Harlequins’ second Premiership trophy.

A product of the Harlequins Academy, Lamb becomes the latest player to recommit to the squad ahead of the 2023/24 season, following scrum-half Danny Care and prop Simon Kerrod, in addition to new signings Joe Launchbury and Will Porter who will join the Club over the summer.

Lamb said: “It’s fantastic to extend my time with Quins. I love playing for this Club. Ever since I joined the Academy at a young age all I’ve wanted is to play for Harlequins, and I feel fortunate to be able to do exactly that for a living.

“I feel like I’m continuing to develop here under the coaching of Jerry Flannery and Adam Jones and enjoy being part of a side that plays the exciting brand of rugby that is at the heart of this Club.

“It’s a great time to be a Harlequin and I’m delighted to continue to be part of this group.”

Head Coach Tabai Matson said: “Dino’s potential is immense and we are thrilled he’s recommitted to the Club.

“It’s always great to see a homegrown player go on to become a regular feature for the senior team and Dino’s athleticism is a real point of difference at the highest level of club rugby.

“He’s relatively young but has already played over 70 Games for Quins at lock. His ability to play in the loose gives him great versatility and more scope to grow his game.”
