Matt Fagerson with Warriors until 2022

Matt Fagerson has signed a two-year contract extension with Glasgow which will keep him at Scotstoun until the summer of 2022.

The 21-year-old back row has become a mainstay since making his competitive debut against Ulster in September 2016. He made his 50th appearance for the club last Friday against the Scarlets at Scotstoun.

Fagerson said: “It’s been an amazing last few years for me, and the culture here is amazing. I’m excited to be staying on.

“We’ve got so much talent in this group that we’re aiming for silverware. We were pretty close last year and we want to go one better this year.”

Warriors assistant coach John Dalziel added: “Matt was superb for us in the closing stages of last season. His dynamism with ball in hand and his work ethic around the pitch give us an added dimension to our attack, and his physicality is a real asset to our defence.

“The great thing for us is that, at just 21, he’s only going to get better in the next few years and I’m excited to see what he’s going to do in a Glasgow shirt.”

Fagerson made his Scotland debut against the USA in Houston in 2018, becoming only the third Scot in the professional era to earn senior honours while still a teenager.
