‘I can’t give it up’ – Care to stay with Harlequins for 20th season
Scrum-half Danny Care says he will stay with Harlequins through 2025-26, for what will be his 20th campaign with the club.
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.”

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.
