Twenty-three-year-old England international Marland Yarde signs a new contract with Aviva Premiership side Harlequins.

Harlequins have announced that Marland Yarde has signed a new contract of undisclosed length with the club.

The England international, who arrived at The Stoop from London Irish in 2014, has scored nine tries from his 30 appearances for Quins.

"I am really happy to have re-signed for Harlequins for the next few seasons. Since joining, I've enjoyed being part of a great team with some exceptional players," he told the club's official website.

"We have a side that is truly capable of beating anyone and I'm excited to be a part of that. We have started this season well and I'm pleased with my personal form. It was a very easy decision to make."

Director of rugby Conor O'Shea added: "Marland is a young man with boundless potential and we will work with him to make sure he fulfils it."

The 23-year-old was a member of the England training squad ahead of the recent Rugby World Cup, but he failed to make the cut for the tournament.
