About Jason Gilmore

Jason Gilmore is the head coach of Harlequins, the Australian defence specialist confirmed permanently in March 2026 after stepping up at short notice.

Jason Gilmore is the head coach of Harlequins, confirmed permanently on 24 March 2026 after taking charge at very short notice at the start of the 2025–26 season as interim senior coach. He succeeded Danny Wilson, who left to join Steve Tandy’s Wales staff.

He has no documented senior professional playing career. His entire working life in the game has been in coaching and player development, starting in Queensland junior and schools rugby.

The pathway route

He coached the Junior Reds from 2008 and at Toowoomba Grammar and Anglican Church Grammar School, then joined the Queensland Reds as elite development coach and later assistant. He led Australia Under-20 from 2017 to 2020, moved to the NSW Waratahs as assistant and defence coach, including a spell as interim head coach in 2021, and also coached Australia A and the Barbarians.

Harlequins

He joined in 2024 as defence coach, replacing Jerry Flannery, then stepped up while retaining defensive duties. His appointment came alongside a wider restructure that brought in Robbie Deans as Performance Director and Rob Hunter as forwards coach from July 2026, with Toby Booth returning as a forwards consultant.

Style

A defence specialist and pathway coach by background, with a remit at Harlequins described as reconnect and rebuild. He has not yet won a trophy as a head coach.

As a player No documented senior professional playing career. His entire career has been in coaching and player development, beginning in Queensland junior and schools rugby.
