Forward heading to The Stoop on two-year deal

Oliver Wilkes is leaving Wakefield to join Harlequins on a two-year contract at the end of the current season. The 29-year-old has been a stalwart of the Wildcats side since joining them from Wigan two seasons ago - Wilkes missing only two matches in that time. "Wilkes has been a consistent performer in Super League for a number of years and we're very pleased he's chosen Harlequins," Quins coach Brian McDermott said. "We have signed a very athletic and fit player to add to our already hard-working pack." Wilkes, a Scotland international, said: "I'm very excited about my move to London. I've been an admirer of Brian McDermott for a long time now and the set-up at the club is first class."
