Biography

Aramburú was born in La Plata, Buenos Aires Province. He primarily played as a wing and centre for Glasgow Warriors in the Pro12 [2] and for Argentina.

He spent much of his early career in France with Biarritz Olympique, USA Perpignan and US Dax. In joining the Glasgow squad in the summer of 2010, he joined his fellow Argentine international Bernardo Stortoni, who was the first choice full back at the club. After his international debut in April 2004 in a match against Chile, Aramburú won 22 caps, (17 starts and 5 appearances from the bench) scoring eight tries, including one against Georgia in the 2007 World Cup. Of his 17 international starts, six were at outside centre, three at inside centre, and four on each wing. [3]

He was killed on 19 March 2022 in a drive-by shooting after an argument at a bar in Paris. [4] The killer was far-right terrorist Loïk Le Priol  [ fr ], already known for acts of violence. [5] On 23 March, the suspect was arrested in Hungary, according to French prosecutors. [6]
