CONFIRMED: England prop Marler signs 4 year deal with 'childhood' club
By Peter Hanson
England prop Joe Marler has extended his stay with Premiership club Harlequins until 2021.
Marler's previous deal was due to expire in 2018, but the Harlequins academy graduate has opted to prolong his stay at The Stoop.
The 27-year-old, part of an England team that won back-to-back Six Nations titles, spoke of his delight at the new deal.
Speaking to the club's official website, he said: "Re-signing for my childhood club has made me very happy.
"John Kingston has recruited strongly over the summer and he is starting to really mark his identity with this exciting group of players.
"I strongly believe we have a squad capable of going places and I'm really excited for the new season."
Marler – who toured with the British and Irish Lions to New Zealand – has scored seven tries in 152 club appearances and has won the Premiership and Amlin Challenge Cup during his time with Quins.

Wales were lucky the Boks should put 60 points past them
Go to commentsI'd rate the brothers Hendricks a point or two lower. Jaden has really not delivered on his early promise and Jordan's kicking at posts was quite erratic. Amongst other things.
I was really surprised that DuhDuh was replaced and not Jordan. DuhDuh had a great game and just underlined his class in a backline that was not firing on all cylinders.
Damian Willemse was missed. Hopefully he'll be back to full fitness and have an injury free 2025 (and '26 and '27 and so on until he decides to retire to spend time with his grandchildren).
RG was great. What an athlete.
Very happy that Hanekom made his debut at last. He gave a good account of himself and will hopefully grow into his role on the international stage.
All things considered, this was another frustrating Bok performance. Even though it was a comfortable win, it wasn't a commanding win. This Welsh team should've been put away by a far larger margin.
But I have faith in Dr Rassie. He knows more than I do. Bring on 2027 😁
