Commenting on the arrival of Etchegoyen, the Black and Greens manager Gavin Allen said: “I am very happy to be able to welcome Matias to our squad.
“We have been busy over recent weeks in looking to recruit new players to strengthen certain areas – Matias has played in several different countries and his experience and knowledge will be a huge asset for the team as we hopefully push for a spot in the Top 6.”
