Scotland and Edinburgh winger Tim Visser is to play for Premiership side Harlequins next season after spending the last six years in the Scottish capital. The 27-year-old flyer has scored seven tries in 18 appearances for Scotland and topped the Pro-12's try-scoring charts for the past four seasons. "I am delighted to join a club with as much heritage as Harlequins," said Visser, who moved to Edinburgh from Newcastle Falcons in 2009. "It's a dream come true and I'm looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and helping the club move forward." Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea said: "We are delighted to welcome Tim to the club. "He is and always has been a finisher and with the margins between winning and losing so small, players like Tim can be the difference. He is a great man, who is really driven to succeed. "We are looking forward to welcoming him to Harlequins next season." Visser was named Young Player of the Season in his debut campaign for Edinburgh and picked up the Player of the Season award for the 2011/12 season. Born in the Netherlands, Visser became eligible for Scotland after fulfilling his three-year residency and announced his international debut against Fiji in June 2012 with two tries. Harlequins are currently eighth in the Premiership table having last won the title in 2012.
