Henari Veratau signs for London Scottish

Experienced and abrasive inside centre Henari Veratau has signed terms with London Scottish for the 2018/19 Championship season.

The former Brumbies and Queensland Reds player has joined the Scots from France where he was plying his trade with Bourgoin.

“We are delighted to welcome Henari to London Scottish," said Director of Rugby Dave Morris.

"Henari came for a trial during pre-season and it was immediately obvious that he was a very talented and skilful rugby player as well as a high calibre individual.

"He will bring a huge amount of experience to our group of players and an ability to play a number of positions in the backline.”

Veratau joins a very experienced and exciting centre corps for the Exiles. Veratau adds to the likes of Scotland international Richie Vernon, last season’s Supporters Player of the Season Ben Mosses and newly announced signing, Bath University graduate Craig Duncan.

Veratau also played over in Japan back in 2009 when he represented the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries side, Mitsubishi Sagamihira Dynaboars, based in Kanagawa.
