Jonny Gray signs new two-year deal with Glasgow

Glasgow Warriors have announced that Jonny Gray has signed a new two-year contract with the club.

The 23-year-old has already played 79 times for Glasgow since making his debut against Edinburgh in 2012 and he has crossed the whitewash eight times.

Glasgow Warriors Head Coach, Dave Rennie said: “We’re rapt. Jonny has achieved an enormous amount for a guy of 23. He has 38 caps for Scotland and is playing his 80th game for Glasgow this weekend.

“He’s part of the leadership group here, he’s captained the side before and is a massive contributor about the place week in, week out.

"It’s massive for us, he’s a phenomenal player with a massive work ethic and the boys love him, so we’re rapt he’s going to be here for two more years at least."

A product of the BT Sport Scottish Rugby Academy and a recipient of the Macphail scholarship in New Zealand in 2012, Gray signed his first professional contract the same year he made his Scotland debut back in 2013.

He has since gone on to pull on the thistle 38 times, most recently in the Autumn Internationals where he scored in the games against New Zealand and Australia.
