Argentinian scrum-half Gonzalo Bertranou played in Major League Rugby during the 2025 season. He represented Rugby FC LA for his entire MLR career.

Born and raised in the city of Mendoza in western Argentina, Bertranou’s professional rugby journey started by representing the Argentina XV side in 2013, whom he represented at the 2015 World Rugby Nations Cup, finishing as runners-up to Romania. That same year, Bertranou earned his test debut for Los Pumas in a 71-7 drubbing of Paraguay and signed with the Jaguares in 2016, playing on the first Argentinian Super Rugby side. He played in Super Rugby with the Jaguares from 2016-2020, when the team dissolved due to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

From Super Rugby, Bertranou moved to Italian side Benetton in the Pro14 (now the URC) before joining the Dragons, where he played from 2021-2024. During the 2023/24 URC season he also played a short stint with the Cardiff blues. Since 2015, Bertranou has been a regular in the Argentina line-up, earning over 60 test caps for Los Pumas and representing his country at two Rugby World Cups, 2019 in Japan, and 2023 in France where Argentina finished 4th.

On November 27th, 2024, Rugby FC LA announced the signing of 30yo Gonzalo Bertranou on a 3yr contract through the 2027 MLR season.
