Harlequins backs Charlie Walker and Winston Stanley have committed their futures to the club.

Academy graduate Walker has been with the London outfit since 2010 and has made 52 appearances at centre or wing.

The 23-year-old has scored 23 tries for Quins and was their leading try-scorer last season with 13 touchdowns in his 16 appearances.

He said: "The decision to extend my time at Harlequins was quick and easy as I love everything about this club. I'm really excited to be working with the new management and I hope to be an integral part of the team in the years to come."

Samoa centre Stanley, 27, joined Harlequins from the Highlanders ahead of the 2015/16 season but his appearances were restricted by a hamstring injury.

He said: "I am delighted to have committed to Harlequins. The club is full of good people and it is very passionately supported. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here and I am excited by the opportunity to contribute to the future success of this club."
