Scotland lock Scott Cummings commits to Glasgow Warriors

Scotland lock Scott Cummings will continue his long association with Glasgow after extending his contract until the summer of 2026.

The 27-year-old has spent his entire career with Warriors and will now be at Scotstoun for at least another two and a half years after having his impressive form rewarded with a new deal.

Cummings, who featured in all four of Scotland’s matches at the World Cup last year, is expected to win his 34th cap in Saturday’s Six Nations opener away to Wales.

“Representing this club means a lot to me,” the second-rower told the Warriors website.

“It’s the club I’ve been a supporter of ever since I was a boy, so every chance I get to represent this team is special.

“It’s a great group to be a part of right now. We’ve got a great group of guys that train hard together and work towards putting good performances out on the weekend.

“There’s huge competition for places within the squad and a number of great young players breaking into the team now as well, which is pushing us all on to represent the team the best we can.

“Our ambition as a club is to win silverware. Getting to experience the (Guinness PRO14) final at Celtic Park in 2019 and then the (Challenge Cup) final in Dublin last year confirmed that those are the games that we want to be involved in, the big matches at the end of each season.

“We want to push on, take that next step and give everything for this club.”

Cummings follows fellow Scotland internationals Jamie Bhatti and Johnny Matthews in extending his contract at Scotstoun.

“To be a great team we must first have a great squad and we are extremely pleased to retain a second-rower of Scott’s calibre for at least the next couple of seasons,” said head coach Franco Smith.

“He has developed into a real leader within our squad, both through his work around our set-piece and his performances on the field and he is someone who is highly passionate about representing his hometown club.

“We firmly believe that there is still more to come from Scott and we look forward to continuing to work closely with him over the coming years.”
