It is with great sadness that everyone at Bristol Harlequins RFC has learned of the passing of John White.

John was a familiar face across the Bristol rugby community, spending countless weekends on the touchline capturing incredible photographs and sharing the moments that make our game so special. His passion for grassroots rugby and dedication to supporting clubs throughout the city will never be forgotten.

John's presence will be sorely missed by players, coaches, volunteers, supporters, and everyone involved in the Bristol rugby family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with John's family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest in peace, John. Thank you for everything you did for our game.

💙🖤🤍

🔵⚫️⚪️ HE'S COME HOME. 🔵⚫️⚪️

Some journeys are meant to come full circle.

We're delighted to welcome Jimbo back to Quins as he returns to the club where his rugby journey began. As we celebrate our 100th year, it feels only right that one of our own finishes his playing career wearing Quins colours once again.

Experience. Passion. Commitment. Pride.

Those qualities have defined Jimbo throughout his career, and we're excited to see him back representing the blue, black and white for the season ahead.

Please join us in giving Jimbo the warmest of welcomes back to the Quins family! 💙

👇 Leave a message in the comments to welcome him home.

🔵⚫️⚪️ HOME GROWN. HARLEQUINS THROUGH AND THROUGH. 🔵⚫️⚪️

We're delighted to confirm that Ryan Morgan and George Beresford have both signed on for the 2026/27 season! ✍️

Both Ryan and George have come through the Bristol Harlequins pathway, progressing from Minis, through Juniors, into Colts, and now proudly representing our Senior side.

They are fantastic examples of what can be achieved through hard work, commitment and loyalty to the club. Seeing our own players develop year after year is something everyone at Bristol Harlequins RFC is incredibly proud of.

Congratulations, Ryan and George – here's to another successful season in the blue, black and white! 💙

🔵⚫️⚪️ NEW SIGNING | Morgan Lewis 🔵⚫️⚪️

We're delighted to welcome Morgan Lewis to Quins ahead of the new season! 💙

Morgan has been playing rugby from a very young age and brings a wealth of experience to the Quins. His knowledge of the game, physicality and determination will be a fantastic addition to the squad.

Alongside his rugby union experience, Morgan also represents the Bristol All Golds in rugby league, bringing even more power and athleticism to the squad.

We can't wait to see him pull on the blue, black & white this season.

Join us in giving Morgan a warm Quins welcome in the comments! 👏

🔥 Hard work deserves a great reward! 🔥

After another gruelling Tuesday night pre-season training session, the lads were treated to a well-earned BBQ to refuel and recover.

A huge thank you to our Club Captain, Gary Britt, and Vice-President, Kelly Britt, for firing up the BBQ and making sure everyone was well fed. We'd also like to thank Deb and Smithy for lending a hand and helping ensure the team were fuelled up after putting in the hard yards.

Pre-season isn't easy, but evenings like this remind us what Bristol Harlequins RFC is all about. It's more than just rugby—it's teamwork, friendship and a club that looks after its own.

A fantastic evening on and off the pitch. Thank you to everyone involved! 💙🖤🤍

🏉 PEARCE BROTHERS. BACK WHERE THEY BELONG.

Bristol Harlequins RFC are delighted to welcome the Pearce brothers back to Valhalla for the 2026/27 season. 💙

After a season away, two home-grown Quins return to pull on the blue, black and white once again.

Even more special, they'll be joining back up with their dad, former Bristol Harlequins captain Dan Pearce, continuing a proud family connection with the club.

Welcome home, lads. We can't wait to see you back in Quins colours.
