Danny Care is eyeing another trophy at Harlequins after signing a new contract this week.

The 35-year-old scrum-half, who has been at The Stoop for 16 years, has been in good form this season and helped reigning Premiership champions Quins climb to third in the table.

Care, who also won the Premiership back in 2012, is hungry for more honours and jumped at the chance to sign a new one-year deal.

“As long as I can help the team and I’m not a hindrance, then I want to keep playing,” said Care ahead of tonight’s game at Bath.

“If I can help the boys lift another trophy, I will do anything I can to try and help that. We all want to win something again.”

Harlequins are fighting with Saracens at the top of the Premiership, and Mark McCall’s side are in action on Sunday when they travel to Wasps.

Andy Christie and Sean Maitland have returned from Scotland’s training camp and will be on the bench, with Saracens making five changes to the side that beat London Irish last weekend in the European Challenge Cup.

London Irish are hoping to bounce back from that defeat by overcoming Exeter Chiefs at home tomorrow.

They have made 10 changes to their XV and the returning Ben Loader is a major boost.

The wing injured the posterior ligament in his left knee during Irish’s win at Exeter in October, but will make his comeback in the reverse fixture on Saturday.
