Rugby Football Club Los Angeles, newcomers to Major League Rugby, have officially announced the acquisition of ex-Wasps lock Theo Vukašinović for the upcoming season.
Ahead of their league debut in California, formerly known as Rugby ATL in Atlanta, Rugby FC Los Angeles has enlisted the services of 27-year-old lock Theo Vukašinović.
Standing at 6 feet 5 inches, Vukašinović spent the latter part of the previous season with the Doncaster Knights in the Championship after joining them subsequent to the Wasps entering administration in November 2022. Following his departure from the Yorkshire club at season’s end, he featured as a guest player for the Northampton Saints during the pre-season.
Rugby FC Los Angeles will kick off their MLR season on March 3 against the Utah Warriors at Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Angeles.
Following the relocation from Atlanta to Los Angeles in December, CEO of RFCLA Pete Sickle expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are excited to bring Major League Rugby back to Los Angeles. Under the head coaching leadership of Steve Brett, RFCLA will serve as another incredible professional sports asset to the West Coast. We look forward to partnering with AEG and others to foster the growth of the game of rugby on a more elevated level in the Greater Los Angeles community.”
