Edoardo Padovani re-signs for Benetton

Benetton Rugby has announced the extension of Edoardo Padovani's contract until 30 June 2024.

Padovani is a versatile back that prefers to play at fly half but can play at full back and in the centres.

He represented Emerging Italy in two matches during Tbilisi Cup 2014, scoring 8 points against Argentina and another 7 against Spain.

His Test debut came off the bench in the RBS 6 Nations 2nd round game against England in Rome. Padovani made a first start against Ireland in round 4, scoring a penalty goal.

Padovani joined Benetton in April 2020 on a two-year deal.
