Glasgow Warriors and Scotland wing Tommy Seymour is delighted to have put pen to paper on a new deal that keeps him at the club until at least 2020.

The British & Irish Lions winger enjoyed an impressive autumn for Scotland that saw him cross for a hat-trick against Fiji at BT Murrayfield.

And with the 2019 Guinness Six Nations on the horizon, Seymour can focus on matters on the pitch now for both club and country.

Seymour said: “It’s a decision I’m very happy with. My family is very happy in Glasgow and it’s a club I feel a massive part of. Among the coaching staff and players I’ve made some great friends here and I can’t really imagine being anywhere else.

“There are so many things Glasgow as a club has enabled me to do in my career and I can’t thank them enough. I’m really proud and happy to be able to say I’ve been a part of this club for as long as I have.”

Seymour was top scorer on the British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand in 2017 and has played 122 times for Glasgow and is the second highest try scorer in their history.

Glasgow Warriors Head Coach Dave Rennie said: “We’re absolutely rapt that Tommy has re-committed. He’s very highly regarded and has been an important part of the fabric here for a number of years.

“His skillset makes him a crucial member of our back three. He is world class under the high ball and has electric pace. He’s a good man and we’re pleased that he sees his future in Glasgow.”
