Jamie Ritchie Agrees Glasgow Warriors Move From Perpignan

The switch gives Scotland coaches more say over his game time before the World Cup in Australia.

Overview

  • Jamie Ritchie agreed Tuesday to join Glasgow this summer, with multiple outlets reporting a two-year deal.
  • Glasgow are reshaping the squad as internationals Jack Dempsey, Adam Hastings and Huw Jones depart at the end of the season.
  • Head coach Franco Smith has also added South African back-row Ruwald van der Merwe and Australian utility back Bayley Kuenzle for next season.
  • Ritchie captained Perpignan in his first Top 14 season and returned recently from a leg injury sustained against England in February.
  • Reports say a break clause allowed his exit from Perpignan, which could help Scotland manage his minutes ahead of next year’s tournament.
