The 23-year-old, who has represented his nation in both 7s and 15s, has made 15 appearance for Warriors across his debut season in England - starting in 11 of those and crossing the whitewash four times.

Gonzalez joined on with Warriors at a later date than the rest of his teammates, owing to international duty, but quickly endeared himself to the Warriors fans with his pace, tricky runs and ability under the high ball.

The back also played the key pass in Jake Garside's score that won try of the year in the club's return season.

Warriors currently lie fourth in the 14-team Championship, with a place in the play-offs already secured.

They have two matches remaining of the regular season before kicking off their play-off campaign for their return season.
