Breaking News: Femicz Rugby Rovigo Redesigns Team for Next Season
New Signings Boost Rovigo’s Squad
In a strategic move to strengthen the team, Femicz Rugby Rovigo has announced the signing of two promising young talents. Juan Dee Oliver, a 23-year-old South African melee median, will replace Alberto Chillon. Meanwhile, Giovanni Sante, a 22-year-old opening median, will take the place of Juan Mostter, with Brandon Thomson as the second option.
Both Oliver and Sante bring fresh perspectives and youthful energy to the team. Oliver, who holds an Italian passport, will not occupy a foreigner spot, giving Rovigo more flexibility in their lineup. Sante, a former Mogliano and Italy Under 20 player, returns to Italy after a stint in France, eager to prove his mettle.
Profiles of the New Signings
Juan Dee Oliver
Born on April 19, 2002, in Bloemfontein, Oliver has played for Grey College and Cheetahs Under 21. His experience in the United States Major League, including stints with Dallas Jackals and Houston Sabercats, has honed his skills and prepared him for the challenges ahead.
Giovanni Sante
Born on February 2, 2003, in Padua, Sante is a familiar face in the Italian rugby scene. His time at Montpellier Espoir in France did not yield the desired results, but his return to Italy is expected to reignite his career. Sante’s previous experience with Mogliano and the Italy Under 20 team makes him a valuable addition to Rovigo.
The Departing Players
The team will bid farewell to ten players who have been integral to their success. Mirko Belloni and Mitchel Walsh are among those leaving, with Walsh retiring due to multiple surgical interventions. The club extends its gratitude to all departing players for their contributions to the team’s history, including their recent victories in the Italian Cup and the 15th Scudetto.
Evergreen Context: Rovigo’s Historical Relevance
Rovigo’s rugby history is rich and storied, with a legacy that spans decades. The club’s consistent performance and strategic player acquisitions have positioned it as a formidable force in Italian rugby. This latest move to strengthen the squad is a testament to the club’s commitment to excellence and its vision for future success.
