The former Newcastle academy graduate made the switch to the Cherry and Whites from Tynedale in 2009 - with the 25-year-old going on to make 45 appearances.
And Harden's form this season saw him called up to the England Saxons set-up - as well as earning the attentions of a number of other clubs.
However Harden, who was born in Australia before moving to England as a youngster, had no hesitation in signing a new deal.
Harden said: "I've got all my mates here, and I'm very happy. There's an element of loyalty in this, definitely.
"You can't ask for a better place to perform than Kingsholm, and the fans are great.
"You can't deny there's always an aspect of having to earn a living, but when the professional situation is right, and that comes on top of that fantastic support, then you can't be in a better scenario."
