Simon Kerrod

Simon Kerrod is an experienced forward with Harlequin FC, the Gallagher Premiership club based in south-west London. Born on 25 August 1992, Kerrod is a seasoned campaigner whose career has been built on physicality and the hard graft of forward play. He brings a strong work rate and defensive presence to the Harlequins pack, contributing in the tight exchanges and at the breakdown across the Premiership and European competition. Harlequins are known for an expansive, entertaining brand of rugby, but that approach is underpinned by forwards willing to do the abrasive work, and Kerrod offers exactly that kind of dependable physical foundation. His role is to provide energy, set-piece reliability and defensive stability, acting as a link in the engine room that allows the side's more creative players to flourish. With years of senior experience behind him, Kerrod brings know-how and durability to the squad, the type of forward whose value is felt in the trenches rather than on the scoreboard. Reliable and uncompromising, he remains a useful presence in the Harlequins forward unit, contributing the unseen effort that sustains a team through the demands of a long Premiership season.
