Lambert represented England at U19 and U21 level.[1] He made his debut for the England Saxons against the Argentina Jaguars at the 2009 Churchill Cup.[2]
He was a replacement for Harlequins in their 2011–12 Premiership final victory over Leicester Tigers.[3]
In November 2017, he was elected as the chairman of the Rugby Players' Association[4]
He holds the rather inauspicious record of being the player most used as a substitute in Gallagher Premiership history.
He announced his retirement in June 2020.[5]
Following his retirement from the sport, he joined the Rugby Players Association full-time, joining as their Head of Rugby Policy.[6]
