Worcester Warriors sign Italy number eight Renato Giammarioli

 

 

Number eight Giammarioli, who has been capped five times by Italy, will arrive at Sixways from United Rugby Championship side Zebre.

 

Giammarioli is the seventh new signing announced by Warriors Lead Rugby Consultant Steve Diamond, who will succeed Alan Solomons as Director of Rugby at the end of the season, and will join his Italy team-mate, hooker Hame Faiva, in the squad at Sixways for next season.

 

 

“ Renato is a great addition to the squad. He is a very ambitious player who has a fantastic skill set. His dynamic carrying and confrontational defence will serve Warriors next season. ,” Diamond said.

Giammarioli, 27, made his Italy debut as a replacement against South Africa in the 2017 Autumn Internationals and his most recent international appearance against New Zealand in Rome last November.

Having played his junior rugby for Frascati, Giammarioli then played club rugby for Calvisano before joining Zebre.
