Quins sign Tikoirotuma in English rugby

Chiefs Super Rugby outside back and Fijian international Aseli Tikoirotuma has signed with Harlequins for two years in the English Premiership.

Fijian international back Aseli Tikoirotuma has signed for Harlequins on a two-year contract, the English Premiership rugby side announced on Thursday.

"Aseli is one of the most exciting backs in world rugby, and we are delighted that he has signed for us," said Harlequins rugby director Conor O'Shea.

"He comes from a winning culture at the Chiefs, is equally at home on the wing or at centre, and I am sure will fit seamlessly into the way we play here and add to the quality we already have."

Tikoirotuma, 27, will join Harlequins in August when his Super Rugby contract with the Waikato-based Chiefs expires.

He has played a key role in the Chiefs' successes in the past two seasons, scoring 11 tries in 33 games, and making his debut for Fiji last year.
