Harlequins have signed prop Phil Swainston from their Aviva Premiership rivals Wasps.
Quins confirmed that Swainston will move to the Twickenham Stoop in July, ahead of next season.
The 27-year-old has made more than 80 appearances for Wasps since joining them in 2012.
"Phil is a proven and experienced tighthead prop who will give us the necessary strength in depth in a key position," Quins rugby director John Kingston said.
"In my conversations with him, he has displayed a real hunger to be a regular starter, and I have no doubt he will provide strong competition for the other props in our squad."
