Wales rugby star Leigh Halfpenny has made a surprise move to Harlequins, joining the Gallagher Premiership club as injury cover for the upcoming season. The 35-year-old full-back, who previously played for the Crusaders in Super Rugby, expressed excitement about the opportunity to contribute to the team and its legacy. Halfpenny, who has an illustrious career with 101 caps for Wales and a reputation for reliable goal-kicking, aims to mentor younger players at Harlequins. Alongside Halfpenny, fellow Welsh international Wyn Jones has also signed with the club, enhancing their Welsh contingent. Harlequins head coach Danny Wilson praised Halfpenny's leadership and adaptability, highlighting his potential impact on the squad. The club, having missed the playoffs last season, hopes these signings will bolster their performance in the league.
