List of players departing from Harlequins
- 3472
Harlequins will see the departure of a total of 18 players from the club this season. Paul Gustard, Head of Rugby at Quins, paid tribute to the leavers:
“As always at the end of a season, and unfortunately during these unprecedented times the end of contracts, we have to say goodbye to some of our Quins.
“The players leaving us all move on to the next chapter of their lives and careers, and as a Club we wish them the very best of health, luck and fortune in their future endeavours.
“It is a strange year as we have not been able to say goodbye as we normally would, nor have our fans had the opportunity to show the players their gratitude in the conventional way. However, in no way does that diminish the appreciation or thanks for their efforts on and off the field of play during their time in the Quarters.
“It is a privilege to be a Harlequin and be part of this club’s history and I know the boys can be proud of their time with us as much as we are thankful for theirs.
“On behalf of the Club I wish them and their families all the best as they move and as we say - once a Quin always a Quin.
“Thank you, boys.”
