Harlequins boost scrum-half stocks by bringing back former player
By Jon Newcombe
Harlequins have announced that scrum-half Max Green has re-joined the club on a season-long deal as injury cover.

Green’s arrival bolsters Danny Wilson’s options at scrum-half, which already include Will Porter, new signing Stu Townsend, Jake Murray, and Lucas Friday, who is set to return from a knee injury mid-season.
The 29-year-old first joined Quins ahead of the 2023/24 season, in which he featured on 11 occasions including the Quarters’ famous Champions Cup quarter-final triumph over Union Bordeaux-Bègles.
The scrum-half returns to The Stoop after plying his trade in France’s Nationale league with CA Périgueux Dordogne, where he made 20 appearances and scored three tries on route to securing a play-off spot with the French side.
Green started his rugby journey at Yorkshire Carnegie and has previously represented England at Under-20 level. In 2017, Green made the move to the West Country to join Bath Rugby, where he would spend six seasons in the Blue, Black and White that included loan spells both at Jersey Reds and Bristol Bears.
“I’m chuffed to be back at Harlequins! I really enjoyed my first spell at the club and we’ve got some cracking lads here, so it was an easy decision for me to come back,” said Green.
“I’m looking forward to getting stuck in and do my bit for the team to help make it a successful season.”

Head Coach, Danny Wilson added: “We’re pleased to have Max back with us to reinforce our options at scrum-half for the season ahead. He’s someone who knows the club and a lot of the playing squad, which will aid his transition back into life back at Harlequins and hopefully that’ll allow him to hit the ground running.”
Green’s return to the Premiership ends any hopes Sweden had of persuading him to play for them. Green is Swedish-qualified, but has so far resisted overtures from one of Rugby Europe’s fastest-improving teams.
