The Harlequins Developing Player Programme engages players aged 13–16-years-old and is a development programme which complements the school, club and county playing programmes, enabling talented rugby players to further enhance skills and progression without the conflict of competition.

Khan Brewer, head of Cranleigh Prep rugby said: “I am very proud of all five boys for achieving such a fantastic opportunity to take part in this national programme, managed by the RFU.

“It is an amazing achievement and good to see all their hard work has paid off.”
