Glasgow sign 2 players including a 124kg Puma and a heavyweight hooker
By Kim Ekin
Glasgow Warriors have added some beef to their front row options with the signing of two heavyweight forwards this afternoon.
Tighthead Lucio Sordoni and hooker Gregor Hiddleston will add a total of 38 stone as new head coach Franco Smith invests in size.
The 24-year-old Sordoni has already won his first cap for Glasgow after arriving on trial earlier this year. He has been capped four times by Argentina, most recently in The Rugby Championship against New Zealand in November 2020.
Standing at 6’3" and weighing in at 124kg the Rosario-born tight-head has represented both the Jaguares and Melbourne Rebels in Super Rugby. He joins on a two-year contract [subject to visa] adding to the club’s long-standing relationship with Argentinian rugby that also includes team-mates Sebastian Cancelliere, Domingo Miotti and Enrique Pieretto.
Hiddleston is no lightweight either, the hooker weighing in at 120kg and standing 6'2.
Born in Dumfries, the 20-year-old joins on a partnership contract with FOSROC Super6 outfit Stirling Wolves. He also availed of a trial period with the side, training with the senior team this summer.
Formerly of Dumfries Saints and GHA, Hiddleston is also happy in the back-row, offering versatility on the bench in a similar mould to the likes of Alfie Barbeary and Jamie Blamire. A Scotland U20s standout, he was also part of the Glasgow side that claimed victory in the Junior 1872 Cup at Scotstoun in November 2021.
Franco Smith said of the signings: “We’re looking forward to continuing to work with both of these exciting front row talents.
“Lucio has impressed us with this work ethic and a grit in both games and in training and has thoroughly earned his long-term contact with us.
“Gregor is someone the club have been watching closely during his time with the Stirling Wolves and we’re pleased to be able to offer him the opportunity to grow and develop as part of our squad.”

Oui, France are an enigma, never quite sure how well they will play.
Go to commentsMy partner and I had always been cautious investors, but like many others, we fell victim to an investment scheme that promised high returns in the cryptocurrency space. The company had a sleek website, a compelling pitch, and even endorsements from supposed financial experts. It all looked legitimate—until it wasn’t. One morning, as I checked our crypto wallet, my stomach dropped. The 350 ETH we had transferred was gone. The platform was suddenly inaccessible, support emails bounced back, and the so-called “investment managers” had disappeared. Panic set in. My partner, Lisa, tried to remain calm, but I could see the worry in her eyes. This was our hard-earned savings, and we had been scammed. Determined not to give up, we scoured the internet for help. That’s when we came across Galaxy Ethical Tech—a company specializing in ethical blockchain investigations and asset recovery. Their reputation was impeccable, and they had successfully helped many people retrieve lost funds from fraudulent crypto schemes. With nothing to lose, we reached out. Galaxy Ethical Tech assigned us a dedicated blockchain forensics expert, Daniel, who listened patiently to our story. He assured us that their technology could trace our stolen Ethereum across multiple wallets, even if the scammers had tried to obscure the transactions. Using advanced blockchain analytics and AI-driven tracing, Daniel and his team mapped out the movement of our ETH. The scammers had funneled the funds through multiple wallets and mixing services, but Galaxy Ethical Tech’s algorithms identified patterns in the transactions. Within 72 hours, they pinpointed where the stolen Ethereum had been consolidated. The next step was enforcement. Galaxy Ethical Tech collaborated with cybercrime authorities and blockchain security networks to freeze the identified wallets. They also leveraged their ethical hacking team to monitor real-time movements and prevent further laundering of the funds.Within two weeks, we received an email that made our hearts race. A significant portion of our 350 ETH had been recovered! Galaxy Ethical Tech coordinated with an exchange compliance team to ensure the funds were returned to our wallet. The relief was overwhelming. We had gone from despair to gratitude, all thanks to the ethical, transparent, and highly skilled approach of Galaxy Ethical Tech. Their AI-powered forensics, legal partnerships, and ethical hacking had saved us from a devastating loss.Today, Lisa and I are more cautious than ever in the crypto space, and we actively educate others on avoiding scams. But if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: when technology is used ethically, it can do wonders—even reclaim what was thought to be lost forever.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just recover our Ethereum. They restored our faith in the power of ethical innovation.contact them via Email: galaxyethicaltech@mail.comWhatsapp: +15072712442Telegram: Galaxy_ethical_tech
