and I love working with the coaching group.
“Since Franco [Smith] came in, he’s helped to drive standards and improve us across the board, and he’s helped to create a brilliant culture at this club.
“Nigel [Carolan], Pete [Murchie] and Al [Dickinson] are all excellent coaches too, and I’ve got no desire to move and leave that behind. I really enjoy being here and coming in to work every day.
“I believe we can win silverware and it’s up to us as a squad to make that happen. It’s a really exciting time to be a Glasgow Warrior.”

nerships with both Sione Tuipulotu and Stafford Mcdowall at club level, dove-tailing to devastating effect with both team-mates in the Glasgow midfield. He has also become a fixture in the midfield alongside Tuipulotu on the highest stage, establishing himself as Scotland’s first-choice outsidecentre since returning to the Warriors last summer.
Jones won his 46th cap in the Six Nations victory over England at Murrayfield on Saturday, providing two assists to Duhan van der Merwe as Gregor Townsend’s side lifted the Calcutta Cup for a fourth consecutive year.
He was the tournament’s joint-top try-scorer last year with four scores, whilst his partnership with Tuipulotu saw both men named in the official Team of the Tournament. His most recent appearance in Glasgow colours saw Jones run in a brace of tries in a Player of the Match-winning performance against Toulon at Scotstoun.
Warriors head coach Franco Smith added: “Good people make good players, and Huw represents that. He believes in what we’re building here at Scotstoun and knows the value of being part of a strong squad. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with him over the next couple of seasons.”
