England's Fin Baxter targets silverware after signing new Quins deal

England loosehead prop Fin Baxter has become the latest player to pledge their future to Harlequins.

The deal for the 22-year-old comes just days after his England team-mate Marcus Smith extended his stay at the Stoop until 2028. The length of Baxter’s deal, however, has not been disclosed.

The prop has spent almost 10 years with the club, joining the academy as a 13-year-old, and has made 58 appearances to date.

Baxter also made his England debut this year, against the All Blacks in July, and has gone on to make six caps so far.

With Quins currently sat in seventh place in the Gallagher Premiership ahead of a trip to Gloucester on Friday, Baxter is targeting more silverware with the club having been part of the squad that won the Premiership in 2021.

“I’m buzzing! I’ve loved my time at the club, especially since coming into the senior setup at 18 years old – to sign a new contract is awesome,” said Baxter after signing his new deal. 

“I’m enjoying my rugby, developing as a player and we’ve got a great group of lads here. We’ve had a taste of success as a group but we want more opportunities to lift silverware.

“If someone had told me 12-months ago I was going to have the year I’ve had, at first, I wouldn’t have believed them. Good performances at club level with Quins allowed me the opportunity to go on tour with England and earn my first caps for my country, and I believe I’ve developed so much from those experiences. Hopefully there is more to come.”

Quins head coach Danny Wilson added: “Fin is an outstanding rugby player, who’s developed at a rapid rate during my time at the club and he is deservedly earning the opportunity to represent his country on the international stage.

“He’s another homegrown talent that took their opportunity when introduced into the senior setup and he’s never looked back. Fin has a desire to learn, which is vital in any player’s journey to becoming an elite operator in their position, especially in the front row.

“We’re all delighted he’s committed his future to the club, where we believe he has the environment to continue growing his skillset and take his performances to an even higher level.”
