Bok Women star Hele signs for Harlequins

The 28-year-old loose forward made her Test debut for the Bok women in 2018 and was a key performer for the side at last year's Rugby World Cup, stealing the show with her powerful performances.

"Aseza was one of the standout performers at the World Cup and fits well with how we want to play the game," Harlequins head coach Amy Turner said.

"She will bring physicality and power to our pack."

Hele, who grew up in Kwazakhele, Gqeberha, was delighted to embrace the incredible opportunity.

"Becoming a Harlequin means that the impossible became possible," she told the club website.

"This is an opportunity that is bigger than rugby. It makes little girls from South Africa not only dream, but now believe.

"Thank you for making me believe. Thank you for seeing me. It excites me to start an adventure and explore new things."
