George Horne extends his spell with Glasgow Warriors

The 25-year-old follows in the footsteps of fellow scrum-halves Jamie Dobie and Sean Kennedy, as well as his fellow Scotland internationals Scott Cummings and Sam Johnson, plus openside Tom Gordon to extend his time at the Scotstoun side.

Horne, a former pupil at Bell Baxter, who made the breakthrough into senior rugby with the Howe of Fife, has racked up 31 tries in 60 appearances for the Warriors, a strike rate that sees him sit fifth in the Glasgow record books.

He has also excelled on the international stage.

His tireless running and speed of service having seen him score six tries in his 14 Scotland appearances to date.

Three of those tries came in a scintillating performance against Russia at the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, as he became just the fifth Scotland player – and the first in 12 years - to cross for a hat-trick on the sport’s biggest stage.

Horne was also part of the Scotland 7s squad that took home the title at Twickenham in the London leg of the 2016/17 World Rugby 7s Series.

The scrum-half, whose brother Pete also plays with Glasgow, told glasgowwarriors.org: “I’ve loved my time playing with the Warriors.

“This is a club I’ve grown up supporting and I’ve made some great memories being a part of this team.

“It’s a special atmosphere stepping out in front of the home crowd at Scotstoun and I’m looking forward to making more memories in front of them in the seasons to come.

“We’ve got a great group of boys who’ve created a real family atmosphere, and the guys that have come in recently have just added to that.

“Getting the chance to play alongside Pete has been amazing too - having the opportunity to continue to do that for Glasgow is one that really excites me and that I look forward to.

“I’m champing at the bit to get back playing.

Recovery ( from a foot injury) is going really well, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel."
