Lennox Anyanwu commits future to Harlequins

Harlequins are delighted to announce that Lennox Anyanwu has agreed a new contract with the Club.

A product of the Harlequins Academy, Anyanwu has made 12 senior appearances and scored four tries for the Club since graduating from the Elite Player Development Group ahead of the 2019/20 season.

Internationally, Anyanwu has represented England at U16, U17 and U18 level.

Throughout his development from the Club’s Academy to the senior side, the 22-year-old midfielder has also represented Championship side Richmond RFC on a regular basis whilst on loan, impressing within the second tier of English club rugby as a well-rounded centre.

Commenting on his new deal, Anyanwu said: “I’m excited to sign a new deal with the Club and am looking forward to seeing what the future holds.

“Harlequins is the club that gave me my opportunity and got me to where I am today and hopefully will help me progress to where I want to go in my career.

“It’s an exciting time to be a Harlequin and I’m looking forward to seeing what this squad can do this season and beyond.”

Harlequins Head Coach Tabai Matson said: “We’re really excited that Lennox has signed a new contract with the Club.

“Since joining the senior squad, he’s worked hard on his game on both sides of the ball and we’re looking forward to seeing what he can bring to the team moving forward.

“We take great pride in our Academy graduates and Lennox is a fantastic example of the talent that the pathway has to offer.”
