Mateo Carreras is an exciting Argentine rugby player known for his speed and skill on the wing. Currently representing the Newcastle Falcons, he has showcased his talent at both the club and international levels.

Carreras first gained attention with his impressive performances for the Los Pumitas during the World Rugby U20 World Championship in 2018. His stellar displays on the field demonstrated his natural ability and potential as a dynamic winger.

In the same year, Carreras made his debut in the shorter format of the game, representing Argentina in the Sevens World Cup in Colorado. This experience allowed him to further refine his skills and adapt to the fast-paced nature of sevens rugby.

Recognizing his talent, Carreras was named in the Jaguares squad for the 2020 Super Rugby season. His inclusion in the squad highlighted his growing reputation and the trust placed in him by the coaching staff.

In 2021, Carreras made a move to the Newcastle Falcons, bringing his speed and attacking prowess to the English club. He made an immediate impact, making several appearances for the Falcons in his debut season.

His performances caught the attention of the club, and in June 2021, Carreras was rewarded with a new deal, highlighting his potential and value to the team.

While sharing the last name with Santiago Carreras of Gloucester and playing in a similar position, it is important to note that Mateo Carreras and Santiago Carreras are not related. Mateo hails from Tucumán, while Santiago is from Córdoba.

As Mateo Carreras continues to develop his skills and make his mark in the rugby world, he brings excitement and flair to the field, representing both his club and country with distinction.

Following RWC2023 where he scored three tries in six matches he continued with Newcastle Falcons before signing with Bayonne and was set to join them at the end of the season but in February 2024 the clubs reached an agreement for him to head to France early
