Danny Care named new Harlequins captain

By , Rugby Editor
England scrum-half Danny Care is appointed Harlequins captain ahead of the new season.

Harlequins have named England scrum-half Danny Care as the club's new captain.

The 28-year-old has made over 180 appearances for Quins following his arrival at Twickenham Stoop in 2006 and has also won 50 caps for the England national team since 2008.

"I was incredibly proud and honoured when [director of rugby Conor O'Shea] asked me to lead the club," he told Harlequins' official website.

"Since I moved to Quins nine years ago it has felt like home to me and I want to repay that by doing the captaincy role justice, like so many other great captains who have done the job before me."

Harlequins start the new Aviva Premiership season at home to Wasps on October 16.
