Bristol Bears Sign Matías Moroni on Short-Term Deal, Add Oscar Lennon at Scrum-Half

Pat Lam says injuries forced immediate cover given scarce mid‑season options.

Overview

  • Moroni, a 93-cap Argentina international who covers centre and wing, joins immediately subject to a medical.
  • Former Bear Oscar Lennon has been signed to provide temporary cover at scrum-half.
  • Harry Randall recently underwent hamstring surgery and Sam Wolstenholme remains weeks from returning from a pre-season strain.
  • Pat Lam listed sidelined backs including AJ MacGinty, Gabriel Ibitoye, James Williams, Noah Heward, Rich Lane, Louis Rees‑Zammit, and academy centres Joe Jenkins and Toby Baker.
  • The moves follow a 50–17 loss to Saracens in which Rees‑Zammit suffered a toe injury, with Jenkins (hamstring) and Tom Jordan (ribs) also unavailable as recruitment efforts continue.
