Harlequins winger Cassius Cleaves has signed a new contract with the London club.
Quins vice-captain Cadan Murley and scrum-half Will Porter extended their deals at Twickenham Stoop last week.
Cleaves, 21, made his Premiership debut coming off the bench in the opening day defeat at Sale Sharks before he was injured in the next game against Newcastle Falcons.
He has made nine appearances in total for Quins, as well as spending time on loan at London Scottish and Worthing.
"I've been in the academy for nearly 10 years now – I've grown up here," he told the club's
"There's a great group of boys at the club and you can see the young blood coming through.
"The brand of rugby we play suits my game and how I want to play, so it was a no-brainer for me to continue my time here."
Harlequins have not stated the length of the new contract.
Quins face London rivals Saracens in the Premiership Rugby Cup on Saturday.
