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 match experience still sucks at SR games, irrespective of the game being a little quicker. Rugby has to compete with so much in the modern world, if you’re going to get people to leave their houses and pay to watch a game in winter then the experience has to be worthwhile.
Go to commentsIt’s a good, timely wake up call for NZ Rugby (seem to be a few of them lately!) - sort out the bureaucratic nonsense at board level. We can’t expect to stay the number one option without keeping fans/players engaged. We’ve obviously been bleeding players to league for years but can’t let the floodgates open (although I think this headline is hyperbolic as it’s a result of a recent Warriors pathways system where they are tracking things more closely) Understand the need to focus boys on rugby if they’re at a proud rugby school too, don’t think it’s harsh at all re Barakat in Hamilton. Reward the committed players with squad positions. An elite 1st XV system in NZ has done more for league than they even realise, think it’s good to protect our game further.
