Domingo Miotti tears up Glasgow Warriors deal after French offer
By PA
Glasgow have allowed Domingo Miotti to join French Top 14 side Oyonnax Rugby – just over a month after the fly-half agreed a contract extension at Scotstoun.
The 27-year-old Argentina international joined the Warriors from Jaguares in 2021 and after bedding in during his first campaign in Scotland, he made a big impact last term as Franco Smith’s side reached the final of the Challenge Cup.
Revealing news of his departure on Thursday, Glasgow said: “Although Miotti had originally agreed a contract extension with Glasgow Warriors for the 2023-24 season, a move to France provides an opportunity, driven by his international aspirations, to play more regularly.
“This is a decision the club supports, agreeing to release Miotti from his contract.”
Head coach Smith added: “We wish Domingo the very best with his move to France. He is a valued member of our squad who will be missed within the group.”
Following Miotti’s exit, Ross Thompson, who has recovered from injury, and Duncan Weir will be Glasgow’s two specialist stand-offs for the season ahead, with the versatile Tom Jordan providing another option for the number 10 jersey.

The debate was in the context of the Lions squad. Multiple club and national coaches have chosen him (considerably) more often at 7, so there’s enough people fancy he’s good in the role.
The win rates are vitally important for this Lions tour. ‘01/’05/’09 were losses. ‘17 was a draw and ‘21 was a utter disgrace that stained the game. And a loss. They’ve won one test series in 24 years. And just 12 months ago people were worried about how uncompetitive Australia might be. Talk about added pressure.
Farrell is a straight forward, no nonsense type of guy. He’ll probably pick conservatively and with guys in their proven positions. He hasn’t the time for bolters or shock calls. Not with the touring schedule they have.
You haven’t remotely offended me, chief. Not at all.

Ranking them ‘in-season’ before that particular sports season has concluded is dafter still.
You’ve actually missed that Ferguson is actually a sporting paradox. 23 years at the helm and the bulk of his success was from the mid-later point of his career. It only proves experience is more important than age.
I was being polite in suggesting the comparison was not stable.
