Turner-Hall signs new Harlequins contract

Harlequins centre Jordan Turner-Hall has signed a new two-year contract.

The 23-year-old, who made his Premiership debut at the age of 18, has made 118 appearances for the club to date and has formed a formidable partnership with George Lowe.

Turner-Hall said: “I have worked very hard over the last two years and feel I have grown as a player.

“I have really started to see the rewards and, hopefully, this has not only benefited me, but also the team.

“I would love to push for representative honours in the near future and to play, once again, at the next level. But this comes with playing well for Harlequins and, hopefully, winning more silverware with the club.

“There are exciting times ahead and I am looking forward to being a part of it.”

Turner-Hall was voted the Premiership’s discovery of the season in 2009 and received his first call-up to the full England squad, starting in the uncapped Test match against the Barbarians.

He came off the bench in England Saxons’ 41-14 win over Tonga at Gloucester in June.

“We are delighted Jordan has committed to Harlequins,” said Quins director of rugby Conor O’Shea.

“It is hard to believe that Jordan is still only 23. His game has gone from strength to strength and he is now a more complete player than he was when he was involved in the senior England set-up a few seasons ago.

“Jordan is a warrior, with massive ambitions for himself and his team-mates at Harlequins, and we are looking forward to him pushing on in the coming years and fulfilling his huge potential as a player.”
