ARGENTINA lock Franco Molina is heading back to the Gallagher PREM next season, signing a two-season deal with Newcastle Red Bulls, and he will be joined by Exeter Chiefs and England A star Rusi Tuima.

The 28-year-old Molina has played 20 times for Los Pumas, including victories over New Zealand, Australia, France and the British & Irish Lions.

The 6 foot 5 forward is already familiar with England’s top flight having spent last season with Exeter Chiefs, for whom he made 17 appearances.

Cordoba-born Molina will play the 2026 Super Rugby season for Australian side Western Force before making the move to Tyneside in the summer, and is excited by the prospect.

He said: "I'm incredibly honoured to be joining Newcastle Red Bulls - a club that has such a rich affinity with Argentinian players.
