Former England lock Joe Launchbury has extended his contract at Harlequins.<\/b><\/p>\n
They 34-year-old moved to The Stoop in 2023 from Japanese side Toyota Verblitz after a 12-year association with Wasps came to an end when the club folded.<\/p>\n
He has since gone on to play 42 times for the Londoners in all competitions. <\/p>\n
Launchbury won the last of his 70 international caps in March 2022 and was part of the squad that reached the 2019 Rugby World Cup final.<\/p>\n
“We’ve got an incredibly determined group of players and staff at the club and so much potential in this group,” Launchbury told the club website.<\/p>\n
“I am excited to be a part of that journey, helping the squad in any way I can. I look forward to playing in front of our amazing fans again next season at The Stoop.”<\/p>\n
Harlequins head coach Danny Wilson added: “Joe has a wealth of experience at the elite level of the game, which is invaluable in any team environment both on and off the pitch. He’ll continue to serve as great mentor to our younger players.<\/p>\n
“When called upon this season he’s continued to perform at a high-level and his leadership qualities have shone through.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
