Sidelined Wallabies speedster Lachie Turner has left the NSW Waratahs to sign with the Queensland Reds for the next two Super Rugby seasons.
The Reds have swooped on Turner to bolster their wing stocks after losing Digby Ioane to French club Stade Francais and Luke Morahan to the Western Force.
The 15-Test flyer is seen as one of the best finishers in the code but has been hampered by serious leg injuries in the past two seasons.
“Lachie is a very good addition for the Reds and provides balance to our squad list,” said Reds coach Richard Graham.
“At 26 years old, he has significant Super Rugby and international experience.
“He’ll add quality to our outside backs and his speed is clearly an asset.”
Turner played 71 Super Rugby matches for the Waratahs, scoring 25 tries.
“One of the big attractions in signing with the Reds was the role (Graham) saw for me in helping Queensland reach its goal of winning another Super Rugby title,” he said.
“With the talent that the Reds already have and the strength of rugby in Queensland, it’s not a matter of if this happens but when and it’s something I want to be part of.”
