By

England captain Chris Robshaw has signed an extension to his Harlequins contract.

Robshaw, 27, has made 170 appearances for the club and his new deal will keep him there until at least the end of the 2015/16 season.

“I am honoured to have committed to Harlequins to the end of the 2015/16 season. It’s a fantastic club with huge aspirations, which I am excited to be a part of,” he said.

“I have learnt so much in my time here and continue to do so from all the people around me, including the coaches and players.

“I am really looking forward to kicking off this season and winning more silverware with this great club.”

Robshaw was appointed Quins skipper in 2010 and led them to the Premiership title last year.

The back row forward remains a pivotal player for director of rugby Conor O’Shea, who was keen for him to commit his future to the club.

“It would be an understatement to say that this is great news for the club and all of its supporters,” O’Shea declared.

“Chris is not just an incredible rugby player, he is and has proven to be, one of the great leaders of the modern game.

“We know we have a player and person who will do everything he can to lead this club to the success and levels we all crave.

“Chris leads on and off the pitch in a manner which is beyond question. I know his motivation for success with both Harlequins and England burns greater than ever.”
