Harlequins have signed Scottish international centre Mick Nanyn on a one-year deal from Oldham.

Nanyn, 26, used an opt-out clause in his contract with the National League Two club to move up to Super League.

"This is a great opportunity and I can�t wait to get started now," said Nanyn, who is a high-scoring kicker.

"Moving down to London is a challenge and, as well as playing in Super League, it's something I�m really looking forward to experiencing."

Nanyn has also played for Swinton, Rochdale, Whitehaven and Widnes.

He has beaten the points record at each club and added: "I�ve been in the National Leagues for a while now and have been waiting for the chance at Super League."

The Scotland international has also been named in his country's preliminary 40-man squad for the World Cup.

Quins head coach Brian McDermott added: "Mick has backed himself to come to London and have a crack at getting a place in our team.

"I respect his desire and with hard work and determination he may just do that."
