Marcus Smith: England fly-half signs new ‘long-term’ Harlequins contract
The 25-year-old, who has 41 international caps and has scored 284 points for his country, started all four of the autumn internationals.
Smith has made 166 appearances for Harlequins and was part of the 2020-21 Premiership-winning squad.
“I love the club it’s given me and my family a lot over the years and I’m looking forward to the future here,” he told the Harlequins website., external
“Every time I come in to the training ground, I’m excited about the future of the club because I can see the level of talent we have in the building.
“We’ve always prided ourselves on our homegrown talent, and I think everyone is going to see more of that in seasons to come.”
Smith becomes the 10th player to pledge their future to the Twickenham-based club in the last month, following players including vice-captain Cadan Murley and flanker Will Evans.
The club has not specified the length of any of the new deals.
Born in the Philippines, Smith made his Harlequins debut against London Irish at Twickenham in September 2017.
He scored 199 points in 28 matches in his debut season and has gone on to amass 1,505 in total for the club.
Smith made his full England test debut against USA in July 2021. He was part of the squad that finished third at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, often selected at full-back.
He was Steve Borthwick’s preferred fly-half in the autumn internationals, starting in all four matches against New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Japan ahead of Sale’s George Ford.
