Facundo Ferrario will continue his playing career in Italy. The Argentine fullback has signed for Rovigo for the 2021-2022 season. He moves to Europe following his involvement with Los Cafeteros Pro in the 2021 Súper Liga Americana de Rugby (SLAR). Ferrario was a regular for the Colombian team during the season.
The 23-year-old is capable of playing in a range of positions in the backline. He did so for Cafeteros Pro this year, due mostly to the needs of the team. His departure to Italy follows that of other SLAR players including his teammate and captain Gonzalo García.
Rovigo are the reigning champions of Italy’s domestic championship, the Italian Top 10. The club won the title with Argentine center Diego Antl involved. Antl has since departed the club to join Valorugby Emilia. Rovigo defeated Petrarca Padova 23 -20 to secure their 13th national title.
Ferrario is a product of Jockey Club de Rosario. His move to Italy will be his second experience playing rugby abroad. His first was playing SLAR for Los Cafeteros Pro.
