Harlequins prop Will Collier has signed a new contract with the club.
The 26-year-old made his Quins debut against Wasps in the special LV= Cup match in Abu Dhabi in 2011 and has now played 108 times for the club.
Collier has played twice for England and scored a try in their second international against Argentina to help secure a series victory in June.
"I am delighted to have re-signed for Harlequins, the club I joined eight years ago," Collier told the club's official website.
"At 26, I feel like my best years are ahead of me and I am really excited with the opportunity to develop my game further under the guidance of John Kingston and his coaching team, in particular Graham Rowntree and Adam Jones.
"We have a strong squad going into the new season and I'm really looking forward to getting started."
There is no doubt that his best rugby still lies ahead of him and I am delighted he has again demonstrated his total commitment to Harlequins
Harlequins Director of Rugby John Kingston admitted he was delighted Collier had committed his future to the club.
"Will is yet another player who has come through the Academy and only ever played for this club," said Kingston.
"We have all watched his progress in the eight years he has been here and were thrilled when he won his first cap for England in the summer against Argentina.
"There is no doubt that his best rugby still lies ahead of him and I am delighted he has again demonstrated his total commitment to Harlequins.
"In talking to him, I know how energised and excited he is about the club's future and he will undoubtedly have a massive role to play in achieving the goals we are striving for."
Harlequins begin the new Aviva Premiership campaign against London Irish, the second match in Saturday's London Double Header at Twickenham.
