Worcester Warriors have continued shaping their squad ahead of their return to professional rugby with the signing of Uruguay back Juan Gonzalez.

The 22-year-old is a regular for his country in sevens and featured in the Olympic Games in Paris last summer.

He scored four tries in Los Teros’ three group matches.

Gonzalez has also played 15-a-side for Uruguay, making his Test debut against Spain last November before winning further caps against Japan and Romania.

He is expected to be part of the squad for July’s Tests, at home to Romania and away to Argentina, before Uruguay’s World Cup qualifier with Paraguay.

“Juan has a serious amount of exciting talent,” said Warriors head coach Matt Everard.

“[He has] brilliant footwork, combined with a tough edge.”
