Former England scrum-half Danny Care says he will remain with Harlequins next season for his 20th campaign with the club.
Care, 38, has made a club record 386 appearances for the London outfit, including 11 so far this season.
“I will be at Harlequins next season, I ain’t leaving – I love it too much, I can’t give it up yet,” he told the BBC’s Rugby Union Weekly podcast.
“Hopefully a few Quins fans will be happy with that.
“That game [the ‘Big Game’ 34-34 Premiership draw against Leicester in December] probably reminded me again just how lucky I am, fortunate, to still play this game we love and to still play for the club that I love.
“I’m not going to give it up while I enjoy it.”
One more year at Harlequins, says Danny Care
Care first joined Harlequins in 2006 and has twice won the Premiership title with the club, in 2012 and 2021, and the European Challenge Cup in 2011 – as well as scoring more than 100 tries.
The number nine retired from England duty in March 2024, after winning 101 caps for his country – one of only six men to achieve a century of appearances for England.
