 Stortoni will help replace Rory Lamont and Francisco Leonelli |
Glasgow Warriors have completed the signing of Argentine full-back Bernardo Stortoni from Bristol. The 30-year-old, who has won 19 caps for his country but will not feature in the World Cup, has signed a one-year deal with the option of a second.
Bernardo scored 18 tries in 42 appearances for Bristol.
Warriors head coach Sean Lineen welcomed the signing and said: "I know Bernie will bring a lot of energy and experience to the Warriors' backline."
Lineen said he wanted to bring in a number 15 following the departures of Rory Lamont to Sale and Francisco Leonelli to Saracens.
"Having looked at some footage and spoken to Richard Hill at Bristol and Argentina's director of rugby, Les Cusworth, I know Bernie will bring a lot of energy and experience to the Warriors' backline," said Lineen.
Stortoni said his new team-mates were very friendly, adding: "My English isn't very good, so I must say thank you to them for taking the time to teach me all the different moves."
