Harlequins is pleased to announce that one-club man Mark Lambert has signed an extension to his current deal.
The loosehead Prop joined Harlequins ahead of the 2003/4 season and has since gone on to make 239 senior appearances, making him one of the most decorated players in the Club’s history.
He was part of the squad that went 14 matches unbeaten on their way to an Aviva Premiership title victory in 2012 and was named on the bench in the Final against Leicester Tigers at Twickenham Stadium. He then started in the successful LV= Cup Final against Sale Sharks the following year.
Lambert made his 200th appearance for Quins in the 2016/17 season; one of only four players in the current squad to achieve that number, alongside Mike Brown, Chris Robshaw and Danny Care.
A message to you from club legend @marklambert3 who remains a Quin for another year.
