Harlequins have secured England full‑back George Furbank from Northampton ahead of the 2024‑25 season. Head coach Jason Gilmore praised his composure under pressure, instinctive play in broken phases and natural attacking flair, saying it matches the club’s style. Furbank also voiced a strong ambition to return to England’s Test side as the World Cup looms. He joins a squad eager to refresh its attacking options.

Furbank departs Franklin’s Gardens as a Premiership champion, having helped Saints clinch the 2023‑24 Premiership title with a 25‑21 victory over Bath. Over the campaign he crossed for seven tries and added 39 points from the boot, marking his most productive season. He will captain Northampton in the June final, a match he describes as a career highlight.

The move gives Harlequins a proven try‑scorer and reliable kicker to bolster a back‑line that has lacked depth this term. Furbank’s ten‑year loyalty to Northampton makes his exit a significant shift, yet his desire to finish on a high note signals professionalism. His arrival positions the Quins to strengthen their title chase while keeping England’s World Cup hopes alive. Fans anticipate his debut against Leicester later this month.
