Lisa Neumann Extends Stay with Harlequins: A Boost for Premiership Women's Rugby

Wales winger Lisa Neumann extends her contract with Harlequins, strengthening the squad for the 2025-26 season.

Wales international winger Lisa Neumann has committed her future to Harlequins by signing a contract extension for the 2025-26 Premiership Women's Rugby season. Neumann's decision underscores her importance to the squad following a standout season.

Neumann's Impact at Harlequins

Since joining the London-based club just over a year ago, the 31-year-old has made 22 appearances, scoring six tries. Her performances have been instrumental in Harlequins' attacking play, combining pace, skill, and tenacity on the wing.

International Experience

Neumann brings a wealth of experience from the international stage, having earned 41 caps for Wales. Most recently, she started in Wales' hard-fought 24-21 Six Nations defeat against Scotland in Edinburgh, showcasing her ability to perform under pressure.

Neumann's Thoughts on the Extension

"Joining Quins last year was the best decision I could have made," Neumann said in an interview with the club's official website. "I've seen my confidence grow, but most importantly, my enjoyment for the game. Being able to continue at Harlequins makes me so happy, and I can't wait for next season."

Coach's Perspective

Head coach Ross Chisholm praised Neumann’s influence on and off the pitch:

"Lisa is a player with great work rate and real energy in everything she does. She is a strong carrier in contact, brilliant defensively, and fits our style perfectly. She's also a great character, bringing positivity to the squad. I'm excited to see her contributions next season."

What This Means for Harlequins

This extension reinforces Harlequins’ ambition in the Premiership Women's Rugby. With Neumann’s attacking prowess and leadership, the club will look to challenge for top honors in the upcoming campaign.
