Harlequins have announced that winger Marland Yarde will join Sale Sharks with immediate effect with Quins' director of rugby John Kingston saying it was in the best interest of the club.

Yarde, who has made 13 Test appearances for England, has not played in Quins' last two games having been dropped due to an "internal disciplinary matter".

"Marland is a top player and I have a great relationship with him," said Harlequins director of rugby John Kingston. "We have enjoyed working together over the last three years and I want to thank him for his contribution to the Club and wish him well for the future.

"He's played really well for us this year, but the decision for Harlequins to allow Marland to speak to Sale was made because I felt it was in the best interest of the Club. Every decision I make is with the intention of doing the right thing for Harlequins football club, and that's the way it will always be.

"I'm building a positive environment and culture at Harlequins, on and off the field, which I believe will ultimately allow us to challenge for honours."
