Danny Care

Danny Care made his England debut back in 2008 against New Zealand. His rugby career began in Leeds, before he signed for Harlequins in 2006, where he remains the most capped Harlequins’ player of all time.

Danny has represented England at nine levels, through the age grade system and a stint in the sevens code, in which he won a Commonwealth Games silver medal.

In an international career spanning 15 years and counting, Care recently featured in Steve Borthwick’s Rugby World Cup 2023 squad.

The scrum half was named in Borthwick’s 36-player squad ahead of the Guinness Men’s Six Nations 2024 before recently retiring from the game. He retires as one of only six men’s players to achieve 100 caps for England, finishing with 101 caps after 15 years of playing at international level.
