JAMES Horwill’s 10th season at the Queensland Reds will be his last with reports he is certain to sign with English club Harlequins.

An overseas venture to finish his distinguished career has always seemed certain for the former Wallabies captain after next year’s World Cup in England.

His mum Jenny was born a few torpedo punts from Twickenham and he carries a British passport which always made an English club a likely destination.

London’s The Mail on Sunday newspaper yesterday reported that a $550,000-plus-a-year contract with Harlequins was almost a done deal after the World Cup.

The 56-Test lock has always staunchly declared himself a one-club man in Australian rugby.

He will be 30 and have built his 107-game career for Queensland to more than 120 appearances by finishing a full Super Rugby season next year.
