Lock agrees to head back to the Reds
Adam Wallace-Harrison has agreed to return to the Reds after signing a two-year deal.
The lock began his professional career in Queensland before moving on to the Brumbies and then to Japan.
However Wallace-Harrison, who toured with the Australia squad in 2005 but failed to win a cap, is now relishing the chance to work with Reds head coach Ewen McKenzie.
"It will be great to come back to Queensland and to help contribute to what Ewen and his team are building at the Reds," Wallace-Harrison said.
"Obviously, I also have some career goals of my own and, having seen where the Reds are heading, it's pretty clear that grabbing this opportunity and making the most of it will be my best chance of achieving them."
Important
With Wallace-Harrison able to also provide cover in the back row, McKenzie believes his versatility and top level experience will provide depth and competition to his squad.
"We saw this year how important it is to have depth in key positions and with a longer, 15-team competition next year that becomes even more significant," said McKenzie.
"Adam can play at six or lock and is a lineout organiser, so he gives us versatility as well as that specialist skill set. The set piece is crucial so you need to have that covered.
"He's committed to the Reds for two years so his experience will be invaluable in our squad development plans.
"We also want competition and Adam is up for that. To some extent he has some unfinished business in Queensland and Australia. He didn't really get the opportunities with the Reds or Wallabies last time around so this is his chance to make a statement."
