Harlequins sign prop Titi Lamositele ahead of 2024/25 season

Harlequins have announced the signing of Samoan international Titi Lamositele ahead of the 2024/25 season.

Lamositele made his professional rugby debut with Saracens in 2015 and went on to win three Premiership and three Champions Cup titles before moving to Montpellier in 2020.

During his time with the French club, the 29-year-old went on to win the European Challenge Cup in 2020/21 and a Top 14 title in the following season.

“I’m excited to be joining Quins. I’ve been impressed with the rugby they have played this season, and I can’t wait to return to the Premiership and link up with my new teammates," he told the club's official website.

"I’ve enjoyed my time in France but I’m excited for this new chapter and I can’t wait to pull on the Quarters and play in front of a packed Quins crowd.”

Lamositele made his Test debut with the United States in 2013 and went on to play for them in over 30 games before switching nations due to World Rugbys Eligibility law change to Samoa in 2023.

“I’ve known Titi since my time coaching with USA Rugby and I’ve followed his progress closely throughout his career," said Director of Rugby Billy Millard.

"He’s a very experienced and dynamic tighthead, who has achieved great success at club and international level and brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our front-row. He’s a hard-working, tough ball carrier, who adds plenty of power to our scrum and will be ready to make a good impact next season.”
