England international Danny Care announces retirement from rugby union
The 38 year old started his professional rugby union career at Leeds Tykes, before moving down south.
Former England international and Harlequins scrum-half Danny Care has announced he will retire from professional rugby at the end of the 2024-25 season.
The 38-year-old joined Quins from Leeds Tykes in 2006 and has made 394 appearances for the club, winning two Gallagher Premiership titles and an EPCR Challenge Cup success during his 19-year association.
He featured at two World Cups for England during an international career which spanned 16 years, finishing with 101 caps to his name.
"So, it's finally time. Unfortunately, after 19 years of playing for this incredible club, I'm going to be retiring from rugby at the end of the season," Care said.
"I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting a lad from Leeds come down to this club and feel like home from day one.
"To all the fans. Thank you for everything you've given me and my family. As I said, you brought us into your hearts. You've sung my name louder than it's ever deserved. And I can't really put into words what representing this club and playing in front of you all has meant to me."
After his retirement, Care will represent Harlequins in an ambassadorial role.
