Aviva Premiership leaders Wasps have announced the signing of Marcus Watson, Ben Harris and TJ Harris for the 2017/18 season.
Watson and Ben will make a switch from Newcastle Falcons while TJ will join the top flight after impressive performances for RFU Championship side Nottingham Rugby.
Former England Under-20 Watson is the brother of England international Anthony and has eight years of professional rugby experience spread across London Irish, Saracens and Newcastle Falcons. He was also part of the GB sevens team that clinched the silver medal in the recently concluded Rio Olympics.
Ben will join Wasps on a permanent basis after he was a part of Dai Youngs's team on loan in 2016.
Wasps boss Young believes the addition of the trio will further strengthen the squad.
"Marcus Watson will be another exciting addition to our back line.
"Everyone has seen how Wasps like to play rugby.
"We always want an exciting back three, with pace on the wing, as we feel we have great distributors in our inside backs, so we want to make sure we have deadly finishers to execute the chances they create.
"Marcus certainly fits into that category brilliantly, as he has shown already at international level on the sevens circuit and in the Premiership.
"We are pleased to bolster our front-row options for next season with the addition of Ben Harris and TJ Harris.
"We already know a lot about Ben, and believe he has real potential at this level. TJ Harris has also impressed us in the Championship, and we think he still has lots of growth in him."
