https://www.quins.co.uk/article/booth-to-depart-at-end-of-the-seasonHarlequins can confirm that Toby Booth will depart from his season-long consultancy role at the conclusion of the 2025/26 campaign.
Booth, former Ospreys Head Coach and London Irish Director of Rugby, arrived at the Club in September 2025 in week one of the Gallagher PREM season as part of the coaching changes following Danny Wilson’s departure.
In his second spell at Harlequins, Booth has undertaken the role of Forwards Consultant and has worked closely with Adam Jones to make an important contribution to the development of the Club’s forward talent this season.
“Harlequins is a great club with rich history. It has strong roots and a loyal supporter base, things I have always championed and believed in. I jumped at the chance to come back, even just for a short spell,” said Booth
“Despite the recent frustrations I am sure the good times are just around the corner, I will enjoy watching the team’s progress from Hong Kong!”
Chief Executive, Laurie Dalrymple said: “We’d like to thank Toby for his contribution during his time at Harlequins. Stepping into the group at a late stage is never easy, but Toby brought immediate impact through his experience, professionalism and deep understanding of the Club, having been here previously.
“Beyond his coaching, Toby is an outstanding person who has added real value to the environment, both on and off the field. He has been a pleasure to work with once again.
“Toby remains committed through to the end of the 2025/26 season and we will be aiming to build on the good work he has done throughout his time at Harlequins. On behalf of everyone associated with the Club, we’d like to wish him well in his next chapter.”
The Club's review of Performance and Coaching structure continues, and further updates will be communicated in due course.
