Zander Fagerson Extends Contract with Glasgow Warriors, Targets Additional Trophies

Zander Fagerson has signed a new contract extension with Glasgow Warriors, committing to remain at Scotstoun until 2027. Following this agreement, Fagerson expressed his ambition to secure additional trophies with the team. The 28-year-old Fagerson, recognized as a leading tighthead globally, played a crucial role in the Warriors’ URC title victory during the previous season. The Scotland prop, who has been with the club for ten years, acknowledged that he considered other options as his current contract approached its expiration at the conclusion of the season. However, he ultimately concluded that remaining with the team would allow him to achieve his professional goals. “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 stated to BBC Scotland. He added, “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.” He further reflected, “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.” Fagerson also commented on recent success, stating, “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.” Fagerson expressed enthusiasm for his inaugural match at Hampden Park, where the Warriors are scheduled to face Edinburgh in the opening leg of the 1872 Cup this Sunday. “Hampden is absolutely awesome,” he remarked. “It was a bold decision but I think it’s the right one.” He continued, “I can’t wait to see the stadium packed out and full credit to the Warrior Nation for getting behind it and buying as many tickets as they have.”
