Scotland winger Lee Jones pens new two-year deal with Glasgow Warriors

The 28-year-old winger committed his future to the club on Friday after spending the last three seasons at Scotstoun. 

Jones, who has four caps for Scotland, has made 49 appearances for the Warriors including 11 this season, and will remain with the Pro12 outfit until at least May 2019.

He is the 13th player to pen a new deal with Glasgow, following the likes of Stuart Hogg, Alex Dunbar and Tommy Seymour, as the squad for next season continues to take shape.

Speaking to glasgowwarriors.org, he said: “It’s great to get my new contract signed and to know I’ll be at Glasgow Warriors for another couple of years.

“It’s been a great club for me and it’s a club which is ambitious, so I’m pleased to be involved for another two seasons.

“To be in the quarter-finals of the European Rugby Champions Cup is massive. As a player you want to be playing at the highest level, so for me it has been really pleasing to get a good run of games in our Champions Cup matches this season and play a part in helping the club qualify for the knockout stages.

“It’s great to see a number of guys commit themselves to the club. It’s a brilliant place to be as we have massive aspirations and the club is always pushing forward. So for those guys to stay on and with new guys coming in as well, it continues to be an exciting time for the club.

“Dave Rennie has been a successful coach in Super Rugby and he will bring a fresh look. It’s exciting to see what he can bring to the club next season.

“I want to be involved as much as possible and really contribute to what can be a successful team.”

Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend added: “Lee has played consistently well for the club and is in the best physical shape of his career.

“He had some cracking performances in Europe this season and is one of our hardest working players on and off the field.

“He’s an important member of our squad and it’s great news that he has decided to extend his stay in Glasgow.”
