Rory Sutherland Signs New Long-Term Deal with Glasgow Warriors

Scotland international Rory Sutherland has committed his future to Glasgow Warriors after signing a new contract that will keep him at Scotstoun until 2028.

The British & Irish Lions prop, who joined the club ahead of the 2024/25 season, has quickly become an influential figure within Franco Smith’s squad. Known for his powerful scrummaging and relentless work rate around the park, Sutherland has brought both experience and presence to the front row.

Speaking after the announcement, the 31-year-old said the decision to extend his stay was an easy one, praising the tight-knit environment at the club and the stability the move offers his family. Coaches and teammates have echoed that sentiment, highlighting his leadership qualities and the example he sets for younger forwards coming through the system.

Head coach Smith described Sutherland as a strong role model and a cornerstone of the pack as Glasgow look to build sustained success in both domestic and European competition.

For the Warriors, securing a player of Sutherland’s calibre on a long-term deal is a major statement of intent. For Sutherland, it marks a settled chapter in a career that has taken him across multiple leagues and nations – and a chance to help drive Glasgow’s ambitions in the years ahead.
