Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro signs for Benetton

Los Pumas and Bristol Bears prop Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro is set to join Italian side Benetton Rugby ahead of the 2021/22 season.

The 54-cap Argentina international arrived at the Bears on a short-term deal last month, making his first start versus Gloucester Rugby.

Chaparro will make the switch to the Pro14 at the conclusion of the current Gallagher Premiership campaign.

Director of Rugby, Pat Lam, said: "We're pleased for Nahuel and his family to have the security to continue playing with Benetton Rugby in the Pro14 for the next three seasons.

“Although Nahuel joined us on a short term as cover for Kyle Sinckler, he has fitted in really well and, despite the unfortunate injury sustained last weekend, we are hoping he will be back before the end of the season.”

Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro has signed with the Italian side until the end of the 2023/24 season.
