Source: www.quins.co.ukHarlequins Rugby League are delighted to confirmed they have signed Australian back row forward Luke Williamson on a two year deal.
The thirty year old, who has played over 215 NRL games, comes to Harlequins RL from the Manly Sea Eagles who have released him a year early so that he can make the move to London.
Harlequins Rugby League Head Coach Brian McDermott has said:
"We are very pleased and excited about adding Luke Williamson's name to our squad for next year.
"He will bring a fair amount of grunt blended with the ability to 'play' a bit. On top of that his personality suits what we have going on down here in London."
Williamson, who is now in his seventh season with the Manly based club added:
"I have always dreamed of playing in the Super League and the Challenge Cup.
"I am proud to be joining Harlequins Rugby League in London and look forward to competing at the highest level."
Williamson is a highly versatile player who has played first grade at centre, stand off, loose forward, second row and hooker. He made his first grade debut with the Adelaide Rams in 1997 before playing for the Canberra Raiders from 1999 to 2001.
Williamson is expected to arrive in London during October in time for the start of pre-season training early November.

Manly scored a couragoues 20-16 victory against Parramatta last night with four Sea Eagles players forced to leave the field during the match and Manly also had to overcome a lopsided penalty count to get the two points.
Winger Michael Bani has been cleared of any serious injury. Manly's medical staff will assess his situation before next week's game against the Bulldogs at Brookvale Oval. Bani was stretchered off the field seconds before half-time.
Steve Menzies hopes of beating Terry Lamb's all-time premiership record for appearances this season appears out of reach after suffering a low grade hamstring tear and will miss at least 2 weeks. Menzies was injured supporting a break leading up to the opening try where Bani scored following some crazy football by Eric Grothe in the lead up to the try.
Prop Mark Bryant suffered a knee injury and is in doubt for next week and Luke Williamson suffered a concussion and will be assessed before next game.
Manly led 10-4 at half-time against the Eels and extended that lead to 14-4 before two quick tries got Parramatta back to 16-14. A try to Heath L'Estrange in the 75th minute saw the Sea Eagles grab the lead and they held on for the two points despite having four players off the field.
The Sea Eagles at home to the Bulldogs next Saturday night with kick off at 5:30pm.
