The 48-cap Wales international has become the second prop to move to the Stoop this summer, with former Saracens tighthead Titi Lamositele also arriving.

“I’m delighted to join Quins and can’t wait to test myself in the Premiership, and work alongside an exciting group of players,” Jones said after signing.

“I’ve heard great things about the Club and the supporters, and I’m excited to work with Bomb (Adam Jones) to improve my game and help Quins achieve our objectives this season.”

Quins head coach Danny Wilson added: “We’re excited to have Wyn Jones at Quins. He’s an experienced and hard-working player who adds significant cover to our front row. He’s a powerful scrummager and strong ball carrier who’ll become an integral part of our pack this season.”
