Harlequins forwards coach Graham Rowntree has left the club for personal reasons.

The 47-year-old has been at the Twickenham Stoop since 2016, having previously held the same role with England for eight years.

"Rowntree has been forwards coach at Harlequins for the past two seasons and he has been a very prominent and popular figure in the rugby department," read a statement on the club's official website.

"Harlequins would like to thank Graham for his great contribution and absolute commitment during his time at the club.

"The club is incredibly grateful to Graham for all that he has given Harlequins and wishes him well for the future."
