Gray captained Scotland's Under-20 side in their last Six Nations campaign

Lock forward Richie Gray has signed a new two-year contract with Magners League leaders Glasgow Warriors.

Gray was in Scotland's training squad for the recent autumn Tests and played in Scotland A's 38-7 win over Tonga.

"It's been an ambition of mine to be involved with the club for a long time so I'm delighted to have extended my contract," said the 20-year-old.

"I'm Glasgow born and bred and have watched the Warriors since I was a little boy."

Having featured eight times for the Warriors this season, Gray is targeting success with Sean Lineen's side.

"I feel Glasgow have the ability to win the Magners League and do well in the Heineken Cup in the coming years and I want to be part of the team that sees Glasgow flourish," added Gray.

Lineen side: "His attitude is outstanding and the guy is going to be a real star and I'm glad he's going to achieve that with Glasgow.

"He's a real talent, and with the way Glasgow are going at the moment, it's fantastic to have young, hungry players who just want to play rugby."
