Recently-crowned world player of the year Ellie Kildunne has signed a new “multi-year” contract with Harlequins.

The 25-year-old has scored 24 tries in 46 international caps, and also represented Great Britain in the rugby sevens at the Paris Olympics.
Kildunne was named the world’s best female player by World Rugby in November.
“We’re thrilled Ellie has renewed with the club, she’s central to how we want to play the game and encapsulates exactly what it means to play the Quins way,” head coach Ross Chisholm told the club’s website., external
“She’s really stepped up as a leader in this group over this season, to see her working alongside the young English talent we’ve got coming through is really exciting for what the future holds for this team.”
Harlequins have not revealed the length of the contract.
