GLASGOW WARRIORS plan to bring in another three or four players before next season, according to managing director Nathan Bombrys.

The Pro12 side have lost head coach Gregor Townsend to the Scotland national team, with Dave Rennie set to replace him at Scotstoun later in the summer.

Warriors have already announced the re-signing of 14 players and arrival of five new faces - Huw Jones, Oli Kebble, Adam Hastings, Callum Gibbins and Lelia Masaga.

However, Bombrys believes more additions will be brought in ahead of the 2017/18 campaign.

"The first thing we wanted to do was to re-sign the key players that we wanted to stay on board for next season," he told Warriors TV.

"Getting Stuart Hogg's signature was a real boost to the club and also a second British & Irish Lion in Tommy Seymour was another big boost. There are 14 guys in total who have committed to staying at the club, including Scotland internationals like Henry Pyrgos, Peter Horne, Alex Dunbar and Tim Swinson.

"We've brought in guys like Huw Jones, Oli Kebble, Adam Hastings, Callum Gibbins and Lelia Masaga and then you look at the BT Sport Scottish Rugby Academy and this year we've had five players graduate, which is outstanding. Lewis Wynne and Matt Smith graduated during the season and next season we're looking forward to Jamie Bhatti, George Horne and Patrick Kelly stepping up, so the Academy is providing a really strong group of young players for us.

"We're looking to add another three or four new players and typically we look at unearthing players and bringing them into our environment and culture and then see them really grow and progress.

"We're an ambitious club and we want to win. This past season we've invested more than we've ever invested into the squad and for next season we've been supported really well by Scottish Rugby to invest more again. We've got to pay for that and part of that is looking at our existing support base. Our season tickets are still very reasonable compared to other top clubs in the UK and Ireland and we made a decision that we wanted to continue to grow and invest in the team."

Bombrys also underlined that incoming head coach Rennie has been heavily involved in discussions about recruitment as he shapes his side for next season.

Rennie is currently employed as head coach of Super Rugby outfit Chiefs and will make the move to Scotland after his club's season culminates on 5 August.

"He's been in the same room as Gregor (Townsend), Dan (McFarland), Stuart (Yule) and myself talking about recruitment and planning for the new season and it was really unique having our incoming and outgoing coaches in the same room all wanting the same thing, which is success for Glasgow Warriors," said Bombrys.

"It's been really helpful having Dave involved in the recruitment discussions right from the start to get his opinion and views. He has a different perspective on the way he wants to play, some players he wants to attract and bring into the club, along with the type of players he's looking for and that has been a real benefit to us.

"Gregor has also been heavily involved up until his last day at the club, which shows how much the club means to him and how much he cares, that he's put in the time and effort on Glasgow's recruitment right throughout the process."
