Joe hosts the podcast Joe Marler's Things People Do, previously known as The Joe Marler Show. He has also appeared as a celebrity panellist on the BBC One gameshow The Wheel in November 2021 and during the 2023 Christmas special.
Over his 15-year career, Joe earned three Six Nations Championships, 95 caps for England, and two Premiership titles with Harlequins. He announced his retirement unexpectedly, stating it was time to "finally jump off that rollercoaster." His final match for Harlequins was against Bristol, where he played a crucial role in a memorable comeback victory.
Joe made his 'Quins' debut in 2009 and his England debut in 2012 during a tour of South Africa. He was part of the England squad that reached the 2019 World Cup final and won the Grand Slam in 2016. Despite his success, Marler's career was marked by controversy, including bans for on-field incidents and provocative social media comments.
Off the pitch, Joe has advocated for mental health awareness, sharing his struggles in a documentary titled Big Boys Don't Cry. His distinctive personality has made him a popular figure in rugby, and he expressed gratitude to Harlequins fans for their support throughout his career.
As he steps away from professional rugby, Joe's media presence is expected to grow, and he will continue to engage with fans through social media and his podcast. His unique approach to the sport and willingness to speak candidly have impacted rugby union.
