  HARLEQUINS IS DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT SECOND ROW GEORGE HAMMOND HAS SIGNED A NEW DEAL WITH THE CLUB
  
  21-year-old lock Hammond is the sixth Harlequins Academy player to sign a new deal with the Club and the 17th re-signing across the Club since January.
  
  Representing England at U17, U18 and U20 levels during his career to date, Hammond signs a new deal with the Gallagher Premiership champions to extend a nine-year relationship with the Club.
  
  Earning his debut for the Club in a starting role against local rivals London Irish at the start of the 2019/20 seasons Hammond has made 11 appearances for the senior team to date, scoring his first try in Quins’ recent Premiership clash with Bath Rugby.
  
  Hammond said: “I’m delighted to sign a new deal with Quins. This is my boyhood club and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time progressing through the ranks within the academy system and going on to earn my first games within the senior team.
  
  “As a second row your main role is to secure set-piece ball for the side, but I find huge enjoyment in playing for a side that plays the style of rugby we do here at Quins. We’ve established a great culture here and have worked hard to tap back into our historical DNA as a Club. I’m excited to continue to work hard within an exceptional team.”
  
  Lineout and Defence Coach Jerry Flannery said: “It’s great to have George sign a new deal. He’s a promising young lock and a great lineout operator. He’s the latest of a line of Academy products to recommit to the team, which is a huge credit to the work being done within the age-grade system here to produce homegrown talent."

• Shame about Tizzard but then hopefully Hammond will make the next step and be a regular feature in the playing squad.

• Really glad to see this announcement, Hammond clearly has real potential and is already a strong line-out operator. A soon-to-be future with him, Lamb and Kenningham as LO options looks promising. Yes it’s a shame we couldn’t also keep Tizard, particularly as they make such a well balanced pairing, but at least we’re not losing them both.
  
  With Els confirmed as well I make the senior squad members still (potentially) out of contract at the end of the season:
  Wilco Louw (may have another year)
  Craig Trenier
  Matt Symons
  Luke Wallace
  Paul Lasike

• After having a quick look at the spreadsheet on the left, I think you have missed a few - eg. Mak Wilson
