The 27-year-old earned his 50th cap for Wales against France in this year’s Guinness Six Nations, and joins an experienced front row contingent at Harlequins supporting a strong contingent of Academy players establishing themselves into the 1st XV.

Commenting on his signing, Lewis said: “I am over the moon to have signed here and can’t wait to get going in the summer. I am looking forward to meeting the boys and playing at The Stoop”.

When asked around what he found attractive about joining Harlequins, Lewis responded: “Their brand of rugby and also seeing the culture and environment off the field as well. I’m excited to have the opportunity to work with Adam Jones and the likes of Joe Marler and Will Collier. I have big aspirations to improve as a player”. 

Harlequins Scrum & Transition Coach Adam Jones, who briefly spent time at Cardiff Rugby with Lewis said: “I first saw him playing for the Cardiff Rugby Academy 8 years ago and I could immediately see that he was going to be a really good player.

“He joins a really talented pool of props at Harlequins and with great competition for places, they will push each other on.

“I look forward to welcoming Dillon in the summer and helping him develop his scrummaging to perform for Quins and Wales. Welcome to Harlequins Dillon!”
