Former England scrum-half Danny Care has revealed that he will complete his 20th season at Harlequins by remaining at the club for another year.
Care, 38, who joined the Gallagher Premiership club from Leeds in 2006, retired from international rugby in March last year but said he was not ready to hang up his boots just yet.
He told the BBC: “I’ll be at Harlequins next season, I’m not leaving, I love him too much, I can’t leave him yet.
“Hopefully some Quins fans will be happy with that.”
Care made his 386th appearance for Harlequins in their recent 34-34 draw with Leicester at the Allianz Stadium.
“That game probably reminded me again how lucky I am, how lucky I am to continue playing this sport that we love and to continue playing for the club that I love,” he added. “I’m not going to give it up as long as I enjoy it.”
Care has won two Premiership titles with the London club – in 2012 and 2021 – and the European Problem Cup in 2011.
He became the sixth player to earn 100 caps for England in last year’s Six Nations victory against Ireland and made his 101st and final international appearance in the 33-31 defeat to France.
