Harlequins centre George Lowe has signed a two-year contract extension with the Aviva Premiership club.

The 23-year-old's new terms at Twickenham Stoop are due to run until 2016.

"He has incredible experience for someone of his age and in that respect he is now maturing as a player," director of rugby Conor O'Shea is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"This experience, coupled with George's physical capabilities, should see him move his game on to another level in the coming years."

Lowe joined Quins' youth academy before penning his first professional deal with the former English champions in 2008.
