TRANSFER NEWS | Argentina international will leave Exeter Chiefs

Glasgow Warriors have bolstered their front-row options ahead of the 2020/21 season, with the signing of Argentina international Enrique Pieretto from Exeter Chiefs.

The 25-year-old has signed a two-year contract, subject to visa and medical.

He will continue the club’s links with Argentinian rugby following in the footsteps of Gabriel Ascárate, German Araoz, Federico Aramburu, Jose Piossek, Bernardo Stortoni and Francisco Leonelli.

Argentina international prop Gaston Cortes also joined the club this week on a short-term loan deal from Leicester Tigers.

Pieretto has prior experience of playing at Scotstoun, having started for Exeter Chiefs in January’s 31-31 draw with the Warriors in the Heineken Champions Cup.

The tight-head joined the English Premiership side in November, having played for the Barbarians against Fiji at Twickenham in November

Standing at 6’1” and weighing in at 119kg, Pieretto becomes incoming head coach Danny Wilson’s second new signing, following the news that Richie Gray has already agreed to re-join the club this summer from Top14 champions Toulouse.
