Argentina hooker Santiago Socino set for Pro D2 move
By Josh Raisey
Gloucester have confirmed that Argentina hooker Santiago Socino will leave Kingsholm at the end of the season to join Agen in France.
The Argentina international has been with the Cherry and Whites since 2020, having originally signed on a short-term deal. He will join an Agen side that currently sit in tenth place in Pro D2, France's second division.
The 31-year-old has made 60 appearances so far for Gloucester. He started on the bench in Gloucester's recent Challenge Cup victory over the Ospreys, where they booked their place in the semi-finals.
Gloucester are set to see plenty of change over the summer, with a number of arrivals and exits at the club. Socino joins Adam Hastings and Alex Hearle in leaving at the end of the season, as well as the huge midseason departure of Louis Rees-Zammit to the NFL.
Wales internationals Tomos Williams and Gareth Anscombe, and England wing Christian Wade are all set to arrive, in addition to the return of England hooker Jack Singleton from his loan to Toulon.

Our best player by far..but not a good Captain..poor tactician cost the AB'S and Canes games by not taking the easy points and going for tries when the lineouts were a shambles..can he read a game? And his throat slitting gesture should disqualify him from the AB Captaincy..it is not the appropriate behaviour of an AB Captain.
Go to commentsForget what was said or how many players said it. TONY BROWN IS THE NEW ATTACK COACH. That’s the only story worth freaking out over. The springboks are going to grow their game an awful lot over the next cycle and it’s not just the 19 disgustingly arrogant Irish players who refused to shake Ebens hand and said “see you in the final if you can cheat your way past France” who will find that out first hand.
