Scotland fly-half Ruaridh Jackson will move from Wasps to Harlequins ahead of next season. 

Jackson has made 16 appearances for the club and has won 28 caps for Scotland but with Danny Cipriani arriving ahead of next season and Jimmy Gopperth currently Wasps' first-choice No.10, he has opted to leave with the hope of more game time at Harlequins. 

"Ruaridh is a very talented player and we were obviously keen to keep him," Wasps coach Dai Young said. "He was certainly part of our long-term plans, but we appreciate he was keen to secure the most game-time possible and he felt this would be elsewhere given the 10's we will have here at Wasps next season.

"We will part on good terms and wish him the very best at Quins next season. Ruaridh is a great guy, who is extremely popular within the squad and is highly respected for his skill-set and his commitment to the team and to helping the squad succeed."

Jackson will vie with Nick Evans and Ben Botica for the fly-half spot at Quins and is looking forward to the move. 

"It was an extremely tough decision to leave Wasps having loved my two years here," Jackson said. "It's a club on the up, playing great rugby, but I feel this move is the best decision for my career. I'd like to thank Dai especially for understanding my decision and letting me go, and wish the very best to everyone associated with the club."
