Still only 26, the international flanker has spent nine years with the club he joined as an apprentice and has been a Scotland regular since making his Test debut during the 2007 World Cup.
A hamstring injury as he scored a Heineken Cup try in Castres in December has contributed to his absence from the Scotland squad at what is a crucial time with a British & Irish Lions tour coming up this summer. However, Barclay's form has also been affected by efforts to change his playing style.
