Dundrennan ’s Stafford McDowall has capped a fantastic year by signing a new contract with Glasgow Warriors . The centre has captained both his club and the Scotland side this year, helped Glasgow win the BKT United Rugby Championship and was also named Denholm Energy Services Players’ Player of the Season. Now, the former Stewartry Shark has signed a new deal with the side for whom he made his professional debut in 2017.
He told the Glasgow Warriors website: “I’m really pleased to renew my contract. “It’s the club that I grew up supporting and a club that I take great pride in representing on and off the field. “I’m loving my rugby here.
The brand of rugby we play is a really exciting one, and its one that I hope the fans enjoy watching as much as we enjoy playing. “Taking on a leadership role is also definitely something I’ve enjoyed in the last year or two. There are so many great leaders at the club currently, which really helps to drive the standards within the club.
" Head coach Franco Smith added: “Stafford has developed into a key leader in our playing group, and is someone who regularly drives our standards and our values on and off the field. “His skillset enables him to contribute effectively both in attack and defence, whilst also bringing out the best in the players around him. “He has fully bought into the journey that we are on as a club, and is fully committed to helping this group achieve its potential.
