Harinordoquy on his way to Biarritz

Beaten Heineken Cup semi-finalists Biarritz Olympique have shown they mean business by signing French number eight Imanol Harinordoquy in a two-year deal from Pau.

The 24-year-old Harinordoquy had initially come through the ranks at Biarritz before signing for Pau in 1999.
