Official: Matías Moroni defined his future and will play in the English Premiership

Matias Moroni was confirmed as a new reinforcement of Bristol Bears on a short-term contract due to an injury crisis in the squad. All rugby, on Disney+ Premium Plan.

The 34-year-old back recently played in the URBA Top 12 with CUBA, and will have his third cycle in the English Premiership, where he has already worn the shirts of Leicester Tigers (they became champion in 2022) and Newcastle. This time, he will do it at Bristol Bears, a club with a large Argentine presence: Benjamín Elizalde, Pedro Rubiolo, Santiago Grondona and Benjamín Grondona.

Bristol were interested in hiring the services of Moroni to address the injury crisis that plagued the squad. AJ MacGinty, Harry Randall and Gabriel Ibitoye, all regular starters, will be sidelined with injuries that required surgery, while Joe Jenkins, Tom Jordan and Louis Rees-Zammit will be sidelined for a limited number of games. In this way, the Argentine would be with the Bears for at least three weeks, a period of time where Moroni could be taken into account by Felipe Contepomi for Los Pumas in the November window.

Director of rugby, Pat Lam, stated: “Given the high number of injuries that our veteran backs have suffered, we are delighted to be able to incorporate a player with the experience and quality of Matías to strengthen our options in the back line during the coming weeks”he pointed out.
