Marcus Smith is one of the most electrifying talents in world rugby and a central figure for both Harlequins and England. Known for his flair, composure under pressure and attacking creativity, Smith has become the face of English backline play. 

As Harlequins’ fly half, he orchestrates one of the PREM's most entertaining attacks, while also competing for England’s No. 10 jersey in a generation of stacked playmakers.

Smith’s rise has been meteoric. Born in the Philippines and raised in England, he made his Harlequins debut as a teenager and quickly earned a reputation for his game management and kicking accuracy. By 2017, he was already one of the youngest PREM fly halves in history, and his career trajectory hasn’t slowed since. His ability to turn tight matches with a drop goal, clutch conversion or line break has made him a fan favorite at The Stoop.

At the international level, Smith has been a regular fixture in the England squad since 2021. He has featured in Six Nations campaigns, World Cup matches and autumn internationals, where his attacking instincts have given England a different edge. His battle for the No. 10 shirt with Owen Farrell and George Ford has become one of rugby’s most talked-about debates, underscoring his importance to the national team.

Heading into the 2025–26 PREM season, Smith remains the heartbeat of Harlequins’ attack. With Quins seeking another playoff push and England preparing for another round of internationals, Smith is positioned to be one of rugby’s defining players in the coming year.

Harlequins’ Attack Runs Through Smith

Smith’s influence on Harlequins cannot be overstated. The team’s fast-paced, expansive style is built around his decision-making at fly half. From cross-field kicks to late-game drop goals, Smith provides both entertainment and execution. Harlequins’ Premiership title in 2021 was fueled in part by Smith’s creativity, and he continues to be the side’s focal point.

England’s Young Maestro

Smith has earned more than 30 England caps and is considered the long-term future of the national team at fly half. He brings a different skill set to the role compared to Farrell or Ford, with more instinctive running and playmaking ability. England coach Steve Borthwick has praised Smith’s “fearlessness and willingness to take risks” in shaping games.
