Academy duo join Warriors

Glasgow have handed oneyear contracts to Scottish Academy players Bruce Flockhart and Robbie Nairn.

Flockhart, a 20-year-old No 8, is a former Scotland Under-20 player and spent last season on loan at French club Stade Nicois, while Nairn, a winger who moved to Glasgow last year from Harlequins, is also a former U20 international and has spent time with the Scotland Sevens squad this season.

Speaking to glasgowwarriors.org, Flockhart said: “One of the goals was for me to develop physically in France and, as a young player, French rugby has been perfect for me in that regard.

“Next season my goal is to learn as much as I can from the players around me and take my opportunities.”

Nairn said: “It’s incredibly exciting to sign a professional deal. I had great fun playing for the Warriors in preseason and was playing well before I got injured.

“I feel like I’ve shown bits of what I can do but I’m looking forward to getting into pre-season.”
