Springbok Women’s Babalwa Latsha renews contract with Harlequins Rugby Club, as announced on Monday, 17 July 2023.
Latsha has made eight appearances since joining the south-west London club in February, scoring four tries in four consecutive matches towards the end of the season.
“I am incredibly excited to be having another season with my Harlequins family. I look forward to representing South Africa whilst representing every young woman in South Africa who has ever dreamed of playing on some of the world’s biggest stages. More than that though, I want to represent the Harlequins shirt to the best of my ability. Come on you Quins!” said Latsha on the club’s website.
While the clubs Technical Director Brent Janse van Rensburg, said: “BB has been fantastic since arriving at Quins. She is exceptionally professional, always the first on the pitch, commencing with her own warm up before anyone arrives, willing to put in the hard work. Since our first meeting it was clear that she is a great leader and her story is inspirational to aspiring women’s rugby players in South Africa and beyond.”
He added: “Around the pitch she brings physicality on both sides of the ball and is a weapon short range to the try line. Four tries in the last four games for a prop is impressive and there is more to come of her.
Babalwa will also be joined by South African teammate Aseza Hele who signed with the club in earlier this month.
