Confirmed: Jack Walker heads to Harlequins

Newly-crowned Premiership champions, Harlequins, are pleased to confirm the signing of Bath hooker Jack Walker ahead of next season. 

The 25 year-old has spent the last five seasons with Bath and is rated as one of the best young hookers in the country. 

“Harlequins are going in an exciting direction at the moment, and I’m thrilled to be able to join them in their journey. Having spoken to some of the coaches and people involved with the team, I know this is a side with real potential to build something big,” Walker said 
 
 

“There’s a great balance to the squad and I’m looking forward to playing my part and contributing to what’s to come. 
 
 

“Quins are a team with real history and are one of the first names you think of when you think of English rugby. To join a champions team as well-known as Quins is something I’m proud of, and I can’t wait to get my first chance at running out in the Quarters.” 

Harlequins’ Lineout and Defence Coach Jerry Flannery said: “It’s great to have Jack joining us over the summer ahead of the 2021/22 season. Jack is a guy who displayed immense talent from a young age in the England age grades and at Yorkshire and has become a great senior hooker during his years with Bath. 
 
 

“We see Jack fitting in well within a well-balanced squad next season and the style of rugby we like to play both as a wider Harlequins team, and as a tight five. 
 
 

“I’m looking forward to seeing Jack join us this summer and adding to the huge positivity we have at the Club at the moment.”
