Luke Wallace: Harlequins flanker to leave at end of December

Harlequins' long-serving flanker Luke Wallace will leave the Premiership club at the end of December.

The 33-year-old came through the Quins academy and made 198 appearances during two spells at the west London club.

Wallace made his debut in 2011 and, after stints at Coventry and Leicester Tigers, returned to help Harlequins to the 2021 Premiership title.

A statement from Quins, external said Wallace will now look for "further opportunities away from The Stoop".

Quins also won the Premiership title in Wallace's debut season and, a year later, he captained Quins to the A-League title and LV Cup.

"I have loved every minute of representing this club," Wallace told the club website.

"I'll obviously always remember the big results, specifically lifting the two Premiership trophies and the LV Cup, but I think my fondest memories will be the wins away in Europe and the celebrations that followed with a great group of mates.

"I would like to thank my team-mates, coaches, and staff for their huge support throughout my career.

"Lastly a special mention to the Quins faithful who have supported us through thick and thin."

Quins director of rugby, Billy Millard, added: "He's been a true Harlequin. We wish Luke the very best as he progresses into his next challenge."
