Pennsylvania native Danny Giannascoli played in Major League Rugby during the 2023 campaign. He represented the Utah Warriors for his entire MLR career.

A native of Malvern, PA, Danny Giannascoli attended Loyola University Maryland, where he was named a NSCRO All-American twice in 2019 & 2020. Giannascoli declared for MLR’s inaugural Collegiate Draft in 2020 and was selected in the 2nd Round, 15th overall by the Utah Warriors. It looked as though he was gearing up to play for the Warriors until he abruptly left in early 2021, returning to the East Coast and playing with Schuylkill River.

Whatever the reason for his departure, the Utah Warriors signed Giannascoli a few years later for their 2023 MLR campaign and although he has yet to earn his pro debut, he spent a productive year with the Utah Warriors Selects academy side in 2023.
