Harlequins have signed former England winger Chris Ashton.
The 32-year-old, who scored 20 tries in 44 appearances for his country, had his contract at Sale terminated by mutual agreement on Monday.
Sales' Director of Rugby Steve Diamond says the player left after "a disagreement about various things" between the pair.
"He wants to do it one way, I want to do it another and that's it, so end of story."
"I know lots of the lads at Quins, like Danny Care, through our England careers and years of friendship. I like the look of what Quins are doing, they are growing a strong squad and the foundations for future success are in place.
"I know that I have still got a lot to give on the pitch, and I am confident that being at Quins will enable me to continue scoring tries and help me with my aspirations of reaching 100 Premiership tries, beating the current record."
Paul Gustard, Head of Rugby at Harlequins said of the signing:
“We are delighted that ‘Ashy’ has decided to commit his future to Harlequins. I have known Chris for around eight years now and he is without doubt one of the most competitive, professional and dedicated athletes I have encountered. His drive to succeed and win is exceptional, allied to his desire to improve and be the best version of himself he can be has always been clear.
“We were very interested in Chris when he was looking to move back to the UK, but unfortunately we were not in a position to compete 28 months ago. However, circumstances change and timings can sometimes work in mysterious ways, meaning we were able to get our man. We have four of our senior back three players currently unavailable with injury and therefore to bring Chris to the Club is a big boost to the squad.
