Yendle among Harlequins' four loan signings

Harlequins have signed four forwards, including Dragons prop Luke Yendle, on short-term loans as cover during the Prem Cup.

Yendle, 25, is joined by team-mate Barny Langton-Cryer for the temporary stay that will take in four cup matches in February.

Yendle is a tight-head prop who has also played for Super Rygbi Cymru sides Newport and Pontypool, as well as former English Champ outfit Jersey Reds.

Second rower Langton-Cryer, 25, has made 16 senior appearances for the Dragons.

The third loanee is Oisin McCormack, a 24-year-old back rower from United Rugby Championship outfit Connacht.

Loose-head prop Ben Murphy completes the quartet, arriving at The Stoop from Super Rygbi Cymru side Cardiff. The 23-year-old formerly captained Cardiff Met University in BUCS Super Rugby.
