STUART HOGG believes he can reach his full potential with Glasgow Warriors after signing a new deal with the club.

The Scotland and British and Irish Lions full-back put pen to paper yesterday on a contract along with team-mate Lee Jones, keeping the pair at Scotstoun until at least May 2017.

Hogg has scored 101 points in his 58 appearances for the club, while also playing a key role in their early success this season.

He became the youngest player to be called up by the Lions in 2013, and has featured in the dark blue of his country 27 times, including the recent Autumn Test series which saw him grab tries against Argentina and Tonga.

At 22 years old there is still much more to come from the Hawick and Hawick Wanderers club graduate, but the man himself is sure he is in the place to reach his peak.

H said: "Over the past few seasons we've been going well and I've enjoyed every minute of it. There is a great group of people around the club and I've settled really well in Glasgow.

"The Warriors has been a big part of my life over the last five years and I've seen the club grow during that time.

"I want to be the best rugby player I possibly can be and I believe at Glasgow I've got the right coaches and players around me to help me along the way."

Jones initially joined the Warriors on loan from Edinburgh Rugby last season before making the move permanent in a year deal in August.

The 26-year-old winger has made 10 appearances for the club and has four caps for Scotland while also featuring for Scotland 7s at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in the summer.

He has also played in 17 IRB Sevens World Series events, scoring 42 tries. The signings come as a timely boost for Warriors as they prepare to face Newport Gwent Dragons at Scotstoun this Sunday before their attention turns to the European Champions Cup.

And head coach Townsend added: "It's great news that Stuart and Lee have signed new contracts with the club. We appreciate the support from Scottish Rugby enabling us to retain both players in Glasgow.

"Stuart and Lee add real quality to our back three options, as we start to shape our squad for next season.

"Stuart has already built up a lot of experience in his relatively short playing career and is improving all the time. I believe he can grow into becoming one of our team leaders over the next few years.

"Lee has done well since joining us on loan and we were delighted to secure him on a permanent deal in the summer.
