England back row Cunningham-South commits to Quins

England back row Chandler Cunningham-South has signed a new “multi-year” contract with Harlequins.

The 22-year-old joined the Prem club from London Irish in 2023 and has made 35 appearances in the famous quarters, as well as earning 18 international caps.

He has played in four of Quins’ five league games so far this season and is part of Steve Borthwick’s England squad for the autumn internationals.

Cunningham-South had recently been linked with a move to fellow Prem side Sale Sharks.

“I’m really pleased to be re-signing with the club – it feels good. I think there is a lot more to come from us as a team this year and beyond, and I want to be a part of that,” Cunningham-South told the club’s website.

“The coaches we’ve had come in – Gilly [Jason Gilmore] and Boothy [Toby Booth] – have helped me so much, and the environment they’re creating is amazing.

“Gilly’s detail in defence is exceptional. It’s an area I am trying to improve and he’s putting in the time to help me develop.”

Cunningham-South scored four tries in nine appearances for England in the 2024-25 season, playing in all five of the team’s Six Nations matches.
