Harlequins back-row forward James Chisholm has signed a new long-term deal with the club
The 21-year-old No 8 has been with Quins since the age of 12 and made his senior debut in an LV= Cup clash with Exeter Chiefs in 2013.
He has since gone on to make 23 appearances and scored five tries for the club and represented England at U18 and U20 level, helping the U20s to the Six Nations title in 2015, before being named as the World Rugby U20 Championship Player of the Year.
Chisholm was also named in the England Saxons squad that secured a 2-0 series win over South Africa in June.
