BELISARIO AGULLA has extended his stay at Newcastle Falcons by signing a permanent deal with the club.

The former Argentina international moved to Kingston Park in late October, and made two starts and six replacement appearances during the Aviva Premiership campaign.

Agulla, who can play at wing, full-back or in the centre, made a further three appearances in the European Challenge Cup.

"I am very happy to be staying in Newcastle with the Falcons," he said. "This squad is very united and I have been made to feel very welcome since I got here. I share the ambitions of everyone here in wanting to get better for next season, and I think we will definitely do that."
