Harlequins head coach John Kingston reckons young back row star Jack Clifford will continue his rapid rise over the next few seasons.
The 22-year-old England U20s and Sevens international claimed top honours at the club's end of season awards on Tuesday, collecting the Adidas supporters’ player of the season, the IG players’ player of the season and the Nick Duncombe young player of the year gongs.
And Kingston, who half expected the clean sweep, warns Clifford - who had a spell at Esher earlier in his career - is not done there.
“All at Quins have known for a while that Jack is an exceptional talent backed by a really professional attitude," he said.
"The rapid strides he has made comes as no surprise to those within the club.
“I have no doubt his progression will continue at pace over the coming seasons.”
Elsewhere, there was success for full back Ollie Lindsay-Hague and the man Clifford hopes to replace long term, Nick Easter.
Lindsay-Hague was awarded Greene King IPA try of the season for his impressive score in the Premiership victory over Gloucester at the Stoop.
While Easter, who earned a recall to the England squad this season, was named DHL player of the season.
