Harlequins have signed Italy scrum-half Tito Tebaldi from Ospreys for the remainder of the season.
The 27-year-old has played 20 times for the Azzurri, having made his international debut in 2009.
Tebaldi joined the Welsh region from Zebre ahead of the 2013/14 season and featured 19 times, but only once this season.
In the circumstances we are delighted to welcome a player of Tito’s experience, who is looking forward to a fresh start.
The Italian will replace Sam Stuart, who has left the club for personal reasons, in the Quins squad.
Harlequins director of rugby, Conor O’Shea said: “In the circumstances we are delighted to welcome a player of Tito’s experience, who is looking forward to a fresh start.
"We hope we can provide the right impetus for him to re-launch his career through Harlequins.”
Tebaldi said: “I’m really excited to be joining Harlequins. I can’t wait to play for the club and I am grateful to have been given this opportunity.
“I’m looking forward to moving to London and continuing my career there.”
