Glasgow Warriors have confirmed that Stuart Hogg is leaving

Glasgow Warriors full-back Stuart Hogg will leave the club at the end of the season.

The 26-year-old has made 109 appearances (100 starts) for Glasgow Warriors since joining the club in 2010, scoring 29 tries so far and amassing 215 points.

The full-back marked his breakthrough season in 2011/12 by scoring a hat-trick away to reigning PRO12 champions Munster.

Hogg has since gone on to play a key role in many of the club's most memorable occasions, including the 2014/15 Guinness PRO12 title-winning campaign, and Glasgow's run to a first-ever European quarter-final in 2016/17.

The youngest Warrior to make 100 appearances, Hogg reached the milestone against Edinburgh at Scotstoun in May 2017.  

He has earned 63 caps for his country and is a two-time British & Irish Lion and back-to-back Six Nations Player of the Championship (2016 and 2017).

Stuart Hogg said: “This is a decision that’s taken a great deal of thought as I’ve loved my nine seasons at Glasgow Warriors. I said I would decide my next step for family and rugby reasons and feel now is the right time to gain new rugby experiences and push myself in different situations where I will be challenged and hopefully improve further.

“I’m proud of what I have achieved with Glasgow Warriors and Scotland so far and would like to thank the club and Scottish Rugby for all their support. They have supported me when I had made my decision to move on and I know they did all they could and I’m grateful for their support.

“We are still less than halfway through my final season at the Warriors and, as current Conference A leaders in the Guinness PRO14 and second in our Heineken Champions Cup pool, there’s a chance to do something special in my last season at the club. That’s the send-off I want to give the club and the fans.”

Glasgow Warriors Head Coach, Dave Rennie, added: "This is a great opportunity for Hoggy and he has our full support. He is a top man, loved by all and will be missed."
