Overview
- Munster confirmed on Wednesday that they have signed Australian utility back Will Harrison from Japan's Kinetsu Liners on a one-year contract.
- Harrison is a left-footed playmaker who can cover out-half, fullback and centre, and Munster say his versatility gives the squad extra balance.
- The 26-year-old rose through Australian pathways as an Australian Schoolboys captain and Australia U20s leader and scored 257 points in 38 games for the NSW Waratahs.
- His progress was interrupted by two serious knee injuries that kept him out for almost two years, and he spent the last two seasons in Japan where his role shifted after new signings.
- Harrison is not Irish-qualified so he fills an overseas slot available after confirmed exits this summer and will join Munster ahead of next season to compete for backline minutes.
