Barry makes Quins switch

Harlequins have signed South Africa centre De Wet Barry on a two-year deal from Super 14 side The Stormers.

The 28-year-old will join up with the Guinness Premiership club after the Currie Cup in South Africa in October.

Barry, who has 39 Springboks caps, said: "I am looking forward to the challenge of joining Harlequins and look forward to the new chapter in my rugby career. I am sure I will be very happy at Quins and intend on making the most of this opportunity."

Barry joined The Stormers in 1998 and has built a reputation as a hard-running centre with a solid defence.

Quins director of rugby Dean Richards said: "I'm absolutely delighted to have secured the services of such a quality player.

"He's a formidable defender and a fantastic runner, so I expect him to fit into the Guinness Premiership with ease."
