Argentina international rejects Bristol Bears to sign with Saracens

#3, Gabriel Oghre (Bordeaux-Begles)

The 24-year-old, who made 66 appearances for Wasps before joining Leicester Tigers and then Bordeaux-Begles on short-term deals, will head to Ashton Gate next season.

Oghre made his Premiership debut in 2018/19 off the bench against Saracens and soon made the step up to the Wasps’ first-team squad for the 2019/20 season. In January 2018 he was named in England Under 20s squad for the 2017/18 season.

Director of Rugby, Pat Lam, said: “Gabriel is a very talented young English hooker who has a strong desire to succeed. He has good experience of playing in the Premiership and more recently, the Top 14.

“With his dynamic style, with and without the ball, and the way he plays the game, I know he will add real value to the Bears on and off the field.”

Oghre added: “Joining the Bears is a new challenge and one that I’m really excited for.

“It’s a club with big aspirations and with a range of youth and experience to help reach them. I’m grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to be a part of it.”
