Former Wales full-back Leigh Halfpenny is preparing for life at Harlequins following an injury-hit stint with New Zealand side Crusaders.
Leigh Halfpenny has joined fellow Welsh players and coaches Wyn Jones, Dillon Lewis, Jarrod Evans and Adam Jones at HarlequinsMore than 16 years into his professional career you could be forgiven for thinking Leigh Halfpenny might be slowing down.
It is that latter tournament where Halfpenny spent a year with the New Zealand side Crusaders before returning and then linking up at the Stoop."I want to carry on playing," said Halfpenny."Primarily I want to play and push for the position. That comes through earning the right and working hard because there's great competition in the back three."But I am a player first and I can't wait for that opportunity to get on the field.
He played in three World Cups and also starred on the 2013 Lions tour of Australia, being named player of the series in a 2-1 series win. "Firstly, his career goes before him in terms of what he's done as a rugby player. He's still got a huge amount to offer on the field as a rugby player and that's his priority, he'll be keen to get out there and prove himself.
