Jones off to Scotland after 2017

Huw Jones will leave the Stormers at the end of 2017 to join the Glasgow Warriors on a two-year deal.

Jones has made 24 appearances for the Stormers in Super Rugby, while he has also played 16 times for Western Province, and finished 2016 as the joint top try-scorer in the Currie Cup.

Jones made his Scotland debut against Japan in 2016, and scored two tries during a Man of the Match performance against Australia at Murrayfield later that year.

Jones said that while he will always cherish his time in Cape Town, he felt the time was right to move back to the northern hemisphere, with his Test career starting to take off.

'It felt like the time was right to join Glasgow, having enjoyed my time in Cape Town playing Super Rugby. Obviously playing for Scotland, it makes a lot of sense to be playing in Scotland and I was ready to make the move.'

Director of rugby Gert Smal said that it has been remarkable to see how Jones has grown within the structures at Western Province Rugby.

'Huw did not come to Cape Town with a career in professional rugby in mind, but he leaves us having reached the highest level. Of course, we are also looking forward to seeing what he can offer both the Stormers and Western Province in his final year with us.'
