Cameron Holenstein signs for Jersey Reds

Jersey Reds have confirmed the signing of prop Cameron Holenstein. The former Harlequins' loose-head arrives on the Island in time for the start of pre-season training, which starts next week.

The 23-year-old played for the Durban-based Sharks at under 19 level in 2014 before moving to Europe and spending a season with Pau in south-west France.

Head Coach Harvey Biljon said: "Cameron's talent was enough to get him an opportunity with a Premiership club, but he had limited game-time and has the potential to really develop his career once he's settled in Jersey."

Holenstein was born in South Africa and grew up in Magaliesburg, north-west of Johannesburg.

After moving to London in summer 2016, his first season with Harlequins was disrupted by injury, but during 2017/18 he played for Quins in the Premiership and Anglo-Welsh Cup.
