Kyle Steyn: Scotland winger extends Glasgow Warriors contract

“Exceptional leader” Kyle Steyn has signed a new contract with Glasgow Warriors, keeping him at the club until 2028.

The Scotland winger has 28 tries in 79 appearances for Glasgow since joining in February 2019.

Steyn, who was appointed captain before the 2022-23 campaign, led the Scotstoun club to their first European final – losing to Toulon in the 2023 Challenge Cup showpiece – before they claimed the URC title last season.

Head coach Franco Smith says Steyn “can be truly world class” for both club and country.

He added: “We’re proud to retain a player of Kyle’s calibre and character. He is an exceptional leader who leads by example above all else, and is a huge asset to the club.”

Steyn, who has 13 tries in 23 international Tests, said it is “one of the biggest honours of his life” to lead out Warriors.

“I’ve loved my time here so far, every minute of it,” the 30-year-old said.

“My wife and daughter are really settled here, we’ve got a great set of friends in the city and the group of boys here make it a privilege to come to work every day.

“Everyone here recognises the quality of group we have, both here and with Scotland. I just want to be a part of that, contribute in every way I can, and take us as far forward as possible.”
