English Premiership club Harlequins have announced that former Wallabies lock James Horwill is to succeed Danny Care as club captain for next season.
Horwill joined Quins in 2015 and has made 40 appearances, scoring five tries, and recently agreed a new contract that will keep him at Twickenham Stoop until 2020.
"I'm very humbled and honoured to be asked to captain such a great club," the 32-year-old former Australia captain said.
"The exciting thing is we haven't reached our potential. We have played well in parts, but we have more to give, both in an individual capacity and as a group."
Horwill, who has 62 caps with the Wallabies, demonstrated his commitment to Quins last November when he sought to play on despite suffering a gruesome dislocation to his left index finger.
