On-loan Lions lock Stephan Lewies will join Harlequins for the 2019-20 English Premiership season.

The 27-year-old is currently on loan with the Lions from the Sharks, where he made 80 appearances after working his way through the Durban ranks.

Lewies earned his first and only Test cap against Scotland when he replaced Victor Matfield in a 55-6 win over Scotland in 2014.

‘This is a very exciting time for me, to be joining a club with such a great history and standing in English rugby,’ he commented. ‘I am coming to Harlequins to win things and I look forward to getting started next season.’
