Anthony Mattew Guirado

Anthony Mattew Guirado is a versatile back on the books at US Arlequins Perpignanais, the Catalan club competing in the upper tier of French rugby. Born on 12 December 2005, he is a developing player working his way through the ranks at the USAP, where his reliable defence and support play make him a useful squad option across the backline. Guirado provides depth and flexibility, the kind of adaptable back who can be called upon in more than one position as he gains experience at senior level. At this stage of his career the emphasis is on growth — sharpening his decision-making, adding consistency to his game and earning the confidence of the coaching staff. Perpignan have a proud history in French rugby and a tradition of giving opportunities to home-grown players, offering Guirado a clear environment in which to develop. His pathway so far has been about steady progression rather than headline moments, which is typical for a young back still establishing himself. With dependability and willingness already evident in his game, Guirado will be looking to build on his early involvement and to stake a stronger claim for regular minutes in the seasons to come.
