SCOTLAND internationals Ryan Wilson, Rob Harley and Chris Fusaro have all re-signed with Glasgow Warriors on two-year deals. The three back-row forwards, each of whom has played more than 100 times for Glasgow, join team-mates such as Jonny Gray, Finn Russell, Pat MacArthur and Fraser Brown in pledging their futures to the club.
“We’ve been very successful in my time here and there is a great culture at the club,” said 25-year-old Harley, who has played 17 times for Scotland. “There is a really good work ethic and a desire from all the players to learn more and improve every day.”
All three joined the Warriors in 2010, as Fusaro, who has four caps, pointed out. “I signed the same year as Ryan and Rob and we’ve formed a tight-knit group in the back row. It’s great the club has managed to hold on to so many guys who have been here from the start.”
Wilson, at 26 the same age as Fusaro, was the only one of the trio to play in Scotland’s win over Italy in Rome last week. “This is my sixth season at the Warriors and I’ve loved my time here,” he said. “Being involved at the Rugby World Cup with Scotland was incredible and I want to continue to play at the highest level. By staying at Glasgow, I’ll have the opportunity to do that. It was a massive honour to reach 100 games earlier this season and I’m really happy to be staying on.”
Wilson, Harley and Fusaro are all now under contract until the end of the 2017-18 season. Glasgow's next game is the PRO12 match against Cardiff on Sunday, when they return to Scotstoun for the first time since December. The team for the game will be announced tomorrow.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
