Scotland's Stafford McDowall caps landmark month with new deal
By Josh Raisey
Scotland centre Stafford McDowall has signed a new deal with United Rugby Championship winners Glasgow Warriors.
The 26-year-old has capped off a landmark month in his rugby career, which saw him captain his country for the first time against Portugal, with the deal.
The centre was integral to Glasgow's victorious URC campaign, featuring in 17 of their 18 regular season matches.
McDowall has made 81 appearances for the Warriors, scoring 16 tries, since making his debut in 2017.
The Warriors have not specified how long his new deal will run for.
“I’m really pleased to renew my contract,” McDowall told glasgowwarriors.org.
“It’s the club that I grew up supporting and a club that I take great pride in representing on and off the field.
“I’m loving my rugby here. The brand of rugby we play is a really exciting one, and its one that I hope the fans enjoy watching as much as we enjoy playing!
“Taking on a leadership role is also definitely something I’ve enjoyed in the last year or two. There are so many great leaders at the club currently, which really helps to drive the standards within the club.
“I want to play my part in helping this group defend the URC title, beginning this Friday, as well as help push us forward to challenge in Europe as well. I can’t wait to get back out there on Friday night if selected.”
Glasgow head coach Franco Smith added: “Stafford has developed into a key leader in our playing group, and is someone who regularly drives our standards and our values on and off the field.
“His skillset enables him to contribute effectively both in attack and defence, whilst also bringing out the best in the players around him.
“He has fully bought into the journey that we are on as a club, and is fully committed to helping this group achieve its potential.”

REACH OUT TO TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY FOR A GREAT JOB
WhatsApp +15617263697
Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!
