Nick Evans signs up for another two years at The Stoop
By Quins
September 10 2010
The Kiwi fly-half has signed a 2 year contract extension which will keep him at the London club until the summer of 2013.
Capped 16 times by the New Zealand All Blacks, and scoring over 100 points, Evans joined Quins in the summer of 2008 from Super 14 side, Aukland Blues.
Going into his third season with Quins, Evans is known for his marshalling of the game, his blistering turn of pace and great vision. He has scored some memorable tries during his time with the London Club and his last minute drop goal against Stade Francais in the 2008/2009 season will definitely go down as one of the most exciting and memorable moments in Heineken Cup history.
Exciting and electric on the pitch, Nick Evans is a pleasure to watch, and after joining Quins from New Zealand two seasons ago, the All Black seems to be quite at home in his newly adopted capital.
Harlequins Director of Rugby, Conor O’Shea, says:
“Whether you are a coach, player or supporter of Harlequins, this is fantastic news for everyone at the club. Nick is a world class player who fits everything that this club wants to be and is also hugely motivated to win silverware with Quins. I am also sure he will continue to help in the development of the 20-year-old Rory Clegg”
Nick Evans, says:
“Harlequins allow me to play the style of rugby that I believe brings out the best in me as a player. We have a great team here at Quins, right the way down from the International and senior players, to the academy boys who are breaking through, to the coaches. I am happy both on and off the pitch, and am looking forward over the next 2 years to helping the club compete for those top table places and challenge for silverware.”

That is a great bit of news, well done Quins. A superb talent retained. On the back of the Danny Care re-signing of a few weeks ago this is absolutely top news.

Don't know what you're all so happy about. I took today off, read the article, cracked open a bottle of 10 year old Ardbeg, got half way through while celebrating, stood up and promptly fell down and all before noon!
Seriously happy though! Those who live in or around Twickenham will have got the Informer through their letterboxes and read the utter tosh about NEv and the fact he was leaving Quins to return to NZ for the WC.
That where any sane person should put said rag - down the WC!! Bah!
Now to finish the bottle!!!

Luckily my daughter did well in her GCSEs to reduce this to my second best good news story of the year and on form she sent me an urgent text to notify me of the good news of Nev during her 6th form free period.
Nev makes the ST fee seem worth it with his genius. In my time (10 years) watching the Quins I would say the only person to come close is Shaggy and Dave Wilson. Andre was outstanding but a lot of that was very, very hard work not total gift.
Have to add Dippy as well. If he had had speed his other rugby talents were frightening. Very glad we have him on-board.
