Phil Swainston started his career playing for Harrogate

Harlequins have agreed a deal to sign Wasps prop Phil Swainston at the end of the season.

The 27-year-old has made 82 appearances for Dai Young's side since joining the Premiership side in 2012.

"He is a proven and experienced tight-head who will give us strength in depth in a key position," Quins boss John Kingston said.

"He has displayed a real hunger to be a regular starter and I have no doubt he will provide strong competition."

Harlequins have not disclosed the length of Swainston's contract at the Twickenham Stoop.
