Quins bring in prop duo Jones and Heaney

Harlequins have signed Joe Jones and Alessandro Heaney on short-term deals to bolster their options at prop.

Experienced tight-head prop Jones joins Quins from Championship side Doncaster Knights until the end of the season.

The 30-year-old previously played in the Prem for Sale Sharks and has had spells with Cardiff Blues, Perpignan and Scarlets.

Heaney, 23, started out in Major League Rugby before joining Cornish Pirates and will head back to the United States next month.

Quins are without forwards Ethan Clarke and Jamie Miller, who both picked up injuries against Northampton Saints last weekend, while tight-head prop Luke Yendle has left The Stoop after Dragons ended his loan spell.
