Chris Fusaro, the Glasgow Warriors flanker, has signed a new two-year-contract with the club.
The 24-year-old made his Scotland debut in their RBS 6 Nations defeat by England last weekend, having made 64 Warriors appearances since joining the club in 2010 and captained the side on occasions this season.
His new deal will keep the Fifer at the club until 2016: "Since joining the Warriors I've never looked back and I'm delighted to be staying at the club for another two years," said Fusaro.
"I'm enjoying working with the coaches and my game has really developed over the past few years. I was so proud to make my Scotland debut on Saturday and although I was very disappointed with the result, I will never forget the experience.
"I believe the best place for me to be is in Glasgow, as it's a club with a very bright future with success on the horizon."
Gregor Townsend, the Warriors head coach, added: "It's fantastic news for the club that Chris has decided to stay and continue his development in Glasgow.
"Chris has had a very good season, which has led to him winning his first cap on Saturday. He displays leadership qualities everyday at the club. Chris epitomises what you want to see in a rugby player and is very well respected by everyone in the group."
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.

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
