Worcester Warriors have signed Wales international Hal Luscombe from Harlequins on a two-year deal.

The 27-year-old, who can play at centre or wing, joined Quins in 2006 and has been capped 16 times by his country.

"Hal will strengthen our squad as we move into some exciting times for Warriors," said Worcester director of rugby Mike Ruddock.

"He will add immense value to the team. Hal is big and strong with great awareness in attack and defence."

South African-born Luscombe has played under Ruddock before, having been part of the Grand Slam-winning Wales squad in 2005, and admits he is glad to be reunited with his former coach.

"The club is really on the up and they have some quality players that I look forward to playing alongside," said Luscombe.

"There is massive ambition at Worcester and it will be really exciting to be a part of that, I'm looking ahead to the challenge and being a big player at the club."

He made his international debut for Wales against Scotland in 2003, and was a regular in the 2006 Six Nations side.
