Centre Ugo Monye has committed his future to Harlequins by signing a new contract with the club until 2015.

The 28-year-old, who can also play as a winger, has spent his entire career with Quins since making his debut against Glasgow in 2002.

After agreeing terms on a fresh deal, Monye told the club's official website that his love for the Stoop-based side was a major factor behind his reason to stay.

"Being at Harlequins is not all about the playing, it becomes a part of your life," he said. "We are a tight-knit bunch of lads, who all love playing for each other.

With so many English qualified players within the squad, we all have a common goal which is playing for Quins and our country.

"I would like to say a massive thank you to all the supporters, players and coaching staff who have supported me and believed in me over the last ten years.

"I am proud to be part of the history of this amazing club."

Monye has won 13 caps for England.
