Wasps lock in ninth signing

TRANSFER NEWS: Wasps confirmed their ninth signing ahead of the 2019/20 season with the addition of promising young lock Theo Vukasinovic.

The 22-year-old will make the switch to Ricoh Arena in the summer after spending time with Loughborough Students and most recently London Scottish in their Championship campaign.

A product of the London Irish Academy, 6ft 5in Vukasinovic featured 19 times for Scottish during the 2018/19 season.

Wasps Director of Rugby Dai Young said: “Theo is a talented young player with a lot of potential.

“He has impressed in the Championship week in week out and we believe, as we’ve seen with some other players like Ross Neal, Billy Searle, Ben Morris and Michael Le Bourgeois this season, we can aid his development to try and become a Premiership player.”

Vukasinovic said: “Making the move to the Premiership with such a well-renowned club as Wasps is a huge step for me in my rugby career.

“I can’t wait to test myself alongside and against some of the best players around.”
