Max Green (born 13 February 1996) is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a scrum-half for Harlequins.

Club career

Green made his debut for Yorkshire Carnegie during the 2015/16 campaign and became a regular the following season.[1] In November 2017 he signed for Bath.[2] Green played for Bath in the Anglo-Welsh Cup[3] [4] making his club debut against London Irish at the Madejski Stadium in 2017.[5]

In March 2021, he was loaned to RFU Championship side Jersey Reds for the remainder of the 2020–21 season and made seven appearances.[6] (after breaking leg and surgery in Jan 2020 and surgery on wrist in Oct 2019)

In September 2023, following six seasons contracted with Bath permanently, Green signed for Harlequins, initially on a short-term deal. This coincided with the 2023 Rugby World Cup where the club's first choice scrum half Danny Care had been playing with England.[7] In December 2023, Green extended his deal with Harlequins on a permanent basis to the end of 2023/24 season.[8]

International career

Green qualifies to represent Sweden through his mother's side and represented Sweden Under-18 in two FIRA tournaments, 2013 and 2014.[9] [10]

Green was a member of the England under-20 team that hosted the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Championship and scored a try in the semi-final against South Africa.[11] He started in the final as England defeated Ireland to win the tournament.[12]
