Harlequins have signed Wales tight-head prop Dillon Lewis and fly-half Jarrod Evans from Cardiff Rugby ahead of the 2023-24 season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Lewis, 27, has been capped 50 times by his country, having made his international debut against Tonga in June 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He made his Cardiff debut in 2014 and has appeared 88 times for the United Rugby Championship club since.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I am over the moon to have signed here,” Lewis said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harlequins scrum and transition coach, and former Wales prop, Adam Jones, said: “I first saw him playing for the Cardiff Rugby academy eight years ago and I could immediately see that he was going to be a really good player. <\/span><\/p>\n

“He joins a really talented pool of props at Harlequins and, with great competition for places, they will push each other on.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Evans, 26, has eight Wales caps to his name, the last of which came in July 2021 against Argentina.<\/span><\/p>\n

The back has kicked 765 points in 126 games for Cardiff since making his first appearance in 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are all excited to welcome Jarrod into our environment to add to the talent we have in the fly-half stable,” said Harlequins attack coach Nick Evans.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
