Socino extends Newcastle Falcons stay

Hooker Santiago Socino has pledged his future to Newcastle Falcons by signing a new two-year contract extension with the club.

 

The 25-year-old is now English-qualified after completing his residency period, his new deal coming in a breakthrough season which has seen him making his Premiership debut.

 

Socino has made 11 first team appearances, scoring on his debut in the Anglo-Welsh Cup at Saracens last season, with seven of his outings coming in this season’s Premiership.


 

Delighted to have retained his services, director of rugby Dean Richards said: “Santi is a very talented player who suits our style of rugby, and he has worked very hard over the past few seasons in converting to hooker from the back row.


 

“His offloading and aggression are just a couple of the many attributes he brings to our play, and it’s great that we have agreed this deal.”
