DERBY’S Luke Frixou has been handed the chance to expand his rugby experience by playing in Italy.
The second rower, from Duffield, is currently on trial with Italian second tier side Benevento.
If he impresses sufficiently, the Cyprus international could join the club for the remainder of the season.
“Through his Cyprus connections, he’s been offered the chance to play in Italy,” said Derby head coach Roxy Fearon
