Zander Fagerson extends Glasgow Warriors stay and targets more trophies

Zander Fagerson says he wants to win more trophies with Glasgow Warriors after he signed a new contract to remain at Scotstoun until 2027.

Fagerson, 28, has established himself as one of the top tightheads in the world and was instrumental in Warriors’ URC title win last season.

Having been at the club for a decade, the Scotland prop admits he explored the possibility of moving on when his existing deal was due to expire at the end of the season, but ultimately decided he could fulfil his ambitions by staying put.

“After weighing up all the options and speaking with my wife and my family, I think this is the best place for me to develop personally on and off the field, to be the best rugby player I can be,” Fagerson told BBC Scotland.

“I’m looking forward to being here for a couple more years and trying to get as much out of my rugby career as I can.

“Coming into the club when we won the league for the first time in 2015 and seeing how the boys went about their business, for me it was a great environment to come into. To still be at the same club 10 years later, it’s a dream come true.

“Winning the URC trophy last season was one of the highlights of my career and I think once you taste that winning feeling you just want to keep winning.”
