MARCUS SMITH has committed his future to Harlequins and he knows that love will be in the air.

England superstar Smith has signed a new long-term deal to stay at The Stoop until at least 2028.

Fly-half Smith, 25, has grown into one of the world's leading players having developed at his boyhood club.

"I'm super excited to sign a new deal with Harlequins," said Smith. "I love the club; it's given me and my family a lot over the years and I'm looking forward to the future here."

Smith was the second-youngest player in Gallagher Premiership history to make their debut when he started against London Irish in September 2017 at just 18 years and 200 days old. He has made 166 and appearances amassed a superb 1,505 points for Quins including 35 tries.
