SCOTLAND international Matt Fagerson has sgined a new deal with Glasgow Warriors that will tie him to the club until the summer of 2022.
The 21-year-old has become a regular fixture at Scotstoun since breaking into the first team in 2016 and has made 50 appearances for the Warriors.
The back-rower was part of Gregor Townsend's training squad ahead of the Rugby World Cup and scored a try in the 2019 Guiness PRO14 Final at Celtic Park last May.
Fagerson told the club's website: “I’m over the moon to be staying at the club. It’s been an amazing last few years for me, and the culture here is amazing. I’m excited to be staying on.

“We’ve got so much talent in this group that we’re aiming for silverware – we were pretty close last year and we want to go one better this year.”
Assistant coach John Dalziel added: "Matt was superb for us in the closing stages of last season.
“His dynamism with ball in hand and his work ethic around the pitch give us an added dimension to our attack, and his physicality is a real asset to our defence.
“The great thing for us is that, at just 21, he’s only going to get better in the next few years and I’m excited to see what he’s going to do in a Glasgow shirt.”
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
