Angus Fraser
Angus said, “I’m delighted to sign for Glasgow Warriors, as I have been involved with the academy for the last three or so years and ever since I started, I have wanted to get the opportunity to play for them.”
Fraser joined County at the beginning of Super6 season, having represented Scotland at U18 and U20 level. The hooker was an integral part of the 2021 FOSROC Super6 campaign for County. He will look to continue his development as part of the Scottish Rugby programme, with the aim of pulling on a Warriors shirt.
“It has been a long graft training and playing, trying to show what I can do and I am so chuffed that my efforts have been rewarded. I can’t wait to kick off training with Glasgow and will be working hard to put my hand up for selection.”
Max Williamson
“It’s been really exciting to sign my professional contract with Glasgow Warriors. It’s been a great experience training with Glasgow and playing for the Stirling Super6 side for the past two seasons.”, Williamson also commented.
Having joined County at age 5, Max Williamson has developed through the ranks at club and national level, recently breaking into the Scotland U20 squad. The University of Strathclyde sport scholar has impressed throughout the Super6 campaign and looks to continue with the squad to further his development.
“I’m hoping to get some more games for Stirling County in the FOSROC Super6 and Scotland U20s in preparation for the new season to hopefully work for an opportunity to play my first game for Glasgow.”
