Wales legend Leigh Halfpenny signs for Harlequins
By Josh Raisey
Harlequins have announced the signing of Wales great Leigh Halfpenny as injury cover.
The 35-year-old fullback has arrived at the Stoop on a one-year deal.
The 101-cap Wales international most recently played for the Crusaders in the latest Super Rugby Pacific season, although it was a campaign blighted by injury which began with a damaged pectoral muscle in preseason.
The 2013 British & Irish Lions player of the series had joined the New Zealand franchise after the World Cup, where he had brought his 16-year international career to a close.
Quins will not only benefit from Halfpenny's vast amount of experience in the back three, but his world-class goal-kicking could prove vital in the upcoming season.
“I’m excited to join Quins and I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue my career with such an iconic club," Halfpenny said.
"I have always admired the Premiership and I’m keen to grab this opportunity with both hands and contribute to the Quins DNA. I’m looking forward to getting stuck in and running out in front of a packed Stoop.”
Quins head coach Danny Wilson added: “We’re thrilled to welcome Leigh to Quins. His experience speaks for itself, and he will bring plenty of leadership, expertise and high standards to our squad, helping mentor our talented stable of back three players alongside bringing the benefit of his enormous experience to the wider squad.
"He’s an incredible athlete, highly skilful and adaptive across multiple positions. We’re confident he’ll make a strong impact at Quins this season.”

Go to commentsBeing an artist in New York, I rely heavily on online platforms to showcase and sell my work. One day, I was approached by a gallery claiming to offer international exposure for my art. They promised to feature my pieces in exhibitions and connect me with global buyers. Excited by the opportunity, I agreed to their terms, which included an upfront payment of $3000 to cover administrative fees. The gallery’s contact person stopped responding to my emails, and when I tried to visit their address, it turned out to be fake. I realized I had fallen victim to a scam. Feeling betrayed and frustrated, I didn’t know where to turn. That’s when I discovered Muyern Trust Hacker on ( Te le gram at muyerntrusthackertech ) I reached out to them, providing all the details I had: the gallery’s information, transaction records, and emails from the scammer. They worked tirelessly with international authorities to track the funds and initiate the recovery process. Within a few weeks, they successfully returned the $3000 to me. The relief I felt was overwhelming. Not only did I get my money back, but I also learned valuable lessons about verifying opportunities and being cautious with upfront payments. They are true professionals who go above and beyond to help their clients. Thanks to them, I can now focus on creating and sharing my art without the burden of losing hard-earned money to scammers. Here is their mail for efficient resolution: (muyerntrusted(@) ma il - me(.) c o m )
