Utility back Cameron Anderson has signed a new contract with Harlequins for an undisclosed period.
The 24-year-old has played in nine matches for Quins this season including starting Premiership wins against Gloucester and Newcastle.
Anderson, who can play at full-back or on the wing, joined from London Scottish last summer and also spent a season with Wasps earlier in his career.
“Cam’s contribution this season has been excellent. He has been called upon at different times, performed well and is continuing to grow,” said Millard.
Anderson joins scrum-half Danny Care and flanker Will Trenholm in agreeing new terms with the Premiership club this week.
Garcia Botta is in his fifth season with Quins and has 62 club appearances as well as 34 Pumas caps.
He was a member of the Harlequins squad that won the 2021 Premiership final against Exeter and has previously played for Super Rugby side Jaguares and French club Stade Francais.
“After much thought and reflection with my family, I have made the decision to retire from professional rugby,” the 31-year-old informed the club website.
“I believe it is the appropriate time, and I would like to thank everyone who has helped me, particularly my family and friends.
“I’m now looking forward to embarking on a new stage in my life back home in Argentina, for which I’ve been preparing for several years by training as a strength and conditioning coach.”
Billy Millard, Harlequins’ director of rugby, added: “We’re sorry to see Santi retire, but we wish him and his family all the best as they return to Argentina.
“He’s worked incredibly hard for his opportunities and has been an excellent professional throughout his time at Quins.”
