Danny Care Bio

Born 2 January 1987, Danny Care began playing rugby at the age of six. Although he loved football and played for Sheffield Wednesday's Academy, he decided to commit to rugby and joined the Leeds Tykes Academy, where he progressed until he appeared for the first team.

However, Danny Care only made 13 appearances for the Leeds Tykes before he left for Harlequins in 2006. During this period of his career, he also played rugby sevens at the Commonwealth Youth Games (2004) and the Commonwealth Games (2006), earning a silver medal on both occasions.

Danny Care then represented Harlequins for the rest of his domestic career, making almost 400 appearances for the side. During this period, he won the Premiership twice and the EPCR Challenge Cup (then known as the Amlin Challenge Cup). He retired at the conclusion of the 2024-25 Premiership Rugby season. 

Thanks to his impressive performances for Harlequins over the years, Danny Care has represented his country more than 100 times. Before making his debut in 2008, he also represented his country at U16, U18, U19, U20 and U21 level. During his time with England, he won the Six Nations Championship several times, including a Grand Slam victory in 2016. He retired from international rugby in 2024.

Now officially retired from the game, Danny Care remains an incredibly popular figure. We can’t wait to see what he does next.
