#6. Cameron Anderson
The 23-year-old joins Harlequins following a successful Championship campaign for London Scottish, playing a key role as Scottish finished the season with three wins from three to avoid relegation.
The back-three player, who featured on loan for Quins in the Premiership Cup against Sale Sharks, joins the Club as part of the strategic partnership with London Scottish.
Anderson began his senior career with Wasps Academy in 2018, before spending time on loan with Loughborough Students. He also represented Scotland U20 in 2019, selected for the U20 Six Nations and World Rugby U20 Championship. He was elevated to the Wasps senior squad in 2021, before joining London Scottish in 2022.
Commenting on his signing, Anderson said: “Joining Quins is a huge opportunity for me. I was fortunate to have played with a few of the lads last year at London Scottish, and all I’ve heard are positive words about the Club’s culture and ambition. The game style is fast-paced and gives players an opportunity to express themselves. I can’t wait to get started.”
Director of Performance Development Tabai Matson added: “Cameron is a great addition to our squad. We have been impressed with his form in the Championship and we’re delighted to see him progress via our partnership with London Scottish. He’s a talented athlete, with great speed and versality and we’re confident he will make a strong impact at Quins.”
#7. Dillon Lewis
Firstly, Harlequins have confirmed the signing of Wales international prop Lewis from Cardiff Rugby ahead of the 2023/24 season.
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!”
