Experienced duo Matawalu and Allan depart Warriors

GLASGOW WARRIORS have revealed that Niko Matawalu and Alex Allan are both leaving Scotstoun at the end of the season. The pair, who have 246 appearances between them, were part of the club’s Pro12 title success in 2015. Fijian scrum-half Matawalu first moved to Glasgow in 2012 and was voted the club’s player of the season in 2013 and 2015. He went on to play for Bath and moved back north in 2017 after an unsuccesful spell at Exeter. With 44 tries, Matawalu is third behind DTH Van Der Merwe and Tommy Seymour for the club’s all-time try-scoring record. Matawalu, 32, said: ‘Glasgow is my second home and I feel an immense sense of pride to have been part of this wonderful club. ‘I’m ready to experience something new outside of Glasgow but I will miss and look back fondly on my time working and playing with all of my babies.’ Harrogate-born prop Allan joined Glasgow in 2014 and earned eight caps for Scotland. ‘I am immensely proud to have represented Glasgow Warriors,’ said the 29-year-old.
