Glasgow trio to leave at the end of the season

Glasgow Warriors can confirm that Gordon Reid, Josh Strauss and Mark Bennett will leave the club at the end of the season.

"Although there is a lot of rugby still to be played this season, I’d like to acknowledge and thank Gordy, Josh and Mark’s invaluable contributions since they joined the club.," commented head coach Gregor Townsend.

"We look forward to them ending their time at the Warriors with the same commitment and skill they have shown already this season and wish them well in the next stages of their careers.”

Loose-head prop Reid joined on a full-time basis ahead of the 2011/12 season, after representing Ayr in the BT Premiership. The 29-year-old Scotland international has gone on to make 109 appearances for the club.

Back-rower Strauss joined the Warriors in September 2012 from South African Super Rugby side, the Lions.

While Bennett, who will join Edinburgh Rugby, made his Glasgow Warriors debut against Leinster in May 2011, before the centre re-joined the Warriors in 2012 after a short spell with French side Clermont Auvergne.
