I aim to Hogg gongs with Glasgow before I leave
STUART HOGG is determined to deliver a silver-laden last season with Glasgow Warriors.
The Scotland full-back has confirmed he’ll be leaving the Scotstoun club at the end of the current campaign and has targeted success to mark his exit.
After nine years with Glasgow, the 26-year-old has been linked with English side Exeter Chiefs but he’s aiming to bow out in style. He said: “This is a decision that has taken a great deal of thought as I’ve loved my nine seasons at Glasgow Warriors.
“I said I would decide my next step for family and rugby reasons and feel now is the right time to gain new rugby experiences and push myself.
“I’m proud of what I have achieved with Glasgow Warriors and Scotland so far and would like to thank the club and Scottish Rugby for their support.
“We are still less than halfway through my final season at the Warriors and, as current Conference A leaders in the Guinness PRO14 and second in our Heineken Champions Cup pool, there’s a chance to do something special in my last season at the club.
“That’s the send-off I want to give the club and the fans.”
Warriors managing director, Nathan Bombrys, paid tribute to the player.
He said: “Stuart has been a great player and ambassador for our club and we’re disappointed to lose an outstanding man.”
