“The people are what makes this club so great. The players and staff have made me feel so comfortable and welcome since arriving.

“One of my dreams is to win the Premiership and why not the Champions Cup! I also want to continue to be selected by Los Pumas and represent my country, and I feel I am in the best place to do that here at Harlequins.”

Head Coach Danny Wilson added: “Rodrigo has made a great impact since joining us earlier this season. He’s a physical specimen who can cause defences real problems and he’s shown he knows his way to the try line.

“He’s a brilliant young man, who has a desire to learn and continually improve his all-round game, and we’re delighted he’s committed his future to the club.”
