Harlequins have signed Zimbabwe winger Edward Sigauke.

The 22-year-old has played 12 times, scoring eight tries, for his country, having made his international debut in 2024.

Quins head coach Jason Gilmore said: “Eddie is a player we’ve been tracking and we’re really pleased to get his signing over the line.

“He’s got tremendous speed and footwork that makes him a real handful for any defence, and we believe he’s got all the raw tools to become a weapon for us out wide.

“What excites us most is his potential – he’s still developing as a player, and we can’t wait to see how he grows within our environment as he takes the next steps in his career.”

Sigauke will join his new teammates from 1 September in preparation for the new campaign, which begins with a Prem Rugby Cup home game against Leicester on 5 September.

“This is a new chapter for me, and I want to make the most of it – working hard every day, learning from the players and coaches around me,” he said.
