London Welsh sign Puma Gonzalo Tiesi

London Welsh have strengthened their options at centre with the signing Argentina‘s Gonzalo Tiesi.
The 27-year-old, who enjoyed spells with London Irish and Harlequins in the past, joins the Exiles from Buenos Aires side San Isidro Club where his recent form saw him earn a recall to the Argentina side for last year’s autumn internationals.
Capped 32 times by Argentina, Tiesi made his international debut in 2004 against South Africa and featured at the 2007 and 2011 World Cups.
London Welsh head coach Lyn Jones said: “The signing of Gonzalo Tiesi is a very significant one by the club. He’s a proven and very experienced Premiership player who has had positive spells at London Irish and Harlequins in the past.
“He’s also a player of true international quality and he proved himself again over the autumn period with Argentina. We look forward to Gonzalo adding a great deal to the playing and training environment at London Welsh.”
