The former Ospreys head coach joined the London outfit in September 2025 as forwards consultant. Booth will see out the current campaign with Quins before turning his attention to a coaching role with Rugby World Cup 2027 qualifiers, Hong Kong China.
"Harlequins is a great club with rich history. It has strong roots and a loyal supporter base, things I have always championed and believed in," Booth told the club website . "I jumped at the chance to come back, even just for a short spell.
"Despite the recent frustrations I am sure the good times are just around the corner, I will enjoy watching the team's progress from Hong Kong. " Booth worked as director of rugby with London Irish, before spells as first-team coach with Bath and assistant coach at Quins before joining Ospreys, who he guided to the United Rugby Championship play-offs in the 2023-24 season. Quins have struggled this season winning just two games from 11 in The Prem and sitting just one place off the bottom of the top flight table.
