Glasgow lock in Scottish prodigy Hastings
By Online Editors
Adam Hastings has signed a new two-year contract with Glasgow Warriors, committing to the Scotsotun club until at least 2021.
The fly-half has been in scintillating form so far this season, named man-of-the-match in three of his ten appearances and voted McCrea Financial Services Warrior of the Month by supporters for his performances in September.
The 22-year-old joined the Warriors from Bath ahead of the 2017/18 season and has gone on to play 19 times, contributing 139 points to date.
Starting his rugby career at George Watson’s College, he moved to Millfield School before being picked up by the Bath Academy. He went on to play twelve times for the Premiership side.
Hastings represented Scotland through the age-grade system before making his full international debut against Canada on the 2018 Summer tour.
He has since gone on to play seven times for his country and score his first international try on his home debut against Fiji this November.
Hastings is the sixth player to commit to the club this month with Tommy Seymour, Stafford McDowall, Oli Kebble, Sam Johnson and George Horne all already announced.
The club have revealed they will announce a further four more signings before Christmas Eve.
Adam Hastings said: “It was a simple decision for me to make. I’m loving life in Glasgow, we’ve got an amazing squad and some of the best coaches in the world and I’m really enjoying my rugby.
“I have signed here to win things and I think we’ve got the squad to do just that. I’m really excited by the potential of this group and I'm delighted to be a part of it for two more years at least.”
Glasgow Warriors Head Coach Dave Rennie said: “Adam is hugely competitive, extremely fit and has grabbed his opportunity with both hands this season.
“He’s confident, is prepared to challenge and is an important member of our leadership group here.
“He’s working really hard on developing his skill-set and game management and we’re rapt that he’s committed his future to the club.”

It is if he thinks he’s got hold of the ball and there is at least one other player between him and the ball carrier, which is why he has to reach around and over their heads. Not a deliberate action for me.
Go to commentsI understand, but England 30 years ago were a set piece focused kick heavy team not big on using backs.
Same as now.
South African sides from any period will have a big bunch of forwards smashing it up and a first five booting everything in their own half.
NZ until recently rarely if ever scrummed for penalties; the scrum is to attack from, broken play, not structured is what we’re after.
Same as now.
These are ways of playing very ingrained into the culture.
If you were in an English club team and were off to Fiji for a game against a club team you’d never heard of and had no footage of, how would you prepare?
For a forward dominated grind or would you assume they will throw the ball about because they are Fijian?
A Fiji way. An English way.
An Australian way depends on who you’ve scraped together that hasn’t been picked off by AFL or NRL, and that changes from generation to generation a lot of the time.
Actually, maybe that is their style. In fact, yes they have a style.
Nevermind. Fuggit I’ve typed it all out now.
