Harlequins sign Mike Mayhew on 3 month loan

Harlequins have announced the signing of hooker Mike Mayhew from Yorkshire Carnegie on a three-month loan.

Harlequins director of rugby John Kingston said: “Both Rob Buchanan and Joe Gray have recently had operations and will be out for a short while. With that in mind, we needed to identify someone who provided the necessary experience to come into the group for the next few months. Mike delivers exactly that. He is a dynamic, physical player who will suit our style of rugby.

I know he is highly energised at the opportunity which has presented itself and I am sure he will make a significant contribution to the group in the time he is here.”

Mike is the older brother of former Harlequin prop Nic Mayhew.
