Ex England hooker Jack Singleton will continue his return to professional rugby with Glasgow Warriors after signing a short-term contract with the club.
The 30-year-old has linked up with Franc Smith’s team with immediate effect, just over a year after suffering a cardiovascular event during Gloucester training in September 2025.
Singleton went through an extensive rehabilitation program last season Gloucester confirmed in August that he was closing in on a return to full trainingalthough he will not be under contract at Kingsholm for the 2026/27 campaign.
The four-capped England international has now been cleared to continue his career at Scotstoun, where he will add depth at the back Scotland internationals Gregor Hiddleston and Seb Stephen. Scottish qualified through his grandparents, Singleton previously made 75 appearances and scored 20 tries for Gloucester after a spell with Worcester Warriors and Saracens.
He also spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Toulon and face Glasgow in the Investec Champions Cup, while his arrival comes days before the Warriors kick off their latest European campaign with a trip to Sale Sharks on Saturday.
“It’s been really good so far,” Singleton said. “All the guys have been really welcoming. I’m incredibly grateful to be here and I’m looking forward to getting stuck into it with the guys.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased to be back in rugby. It’s been a long year and Glasgow giving me this opportunity is something I’m incredibly grateful for. I’m excited to be clean and back on the field.”
“I watched Glasgow a lot in the Champions Cup last year. I saw them go and I saw them win Toulouse at home where the atmosphere looked incredible.”
Head coach Smith added: “With Gregor Hiddleston and Seb Stephen both making their Scotland debuts in the summer and both players likely to be involved during Nations Championship and Guinness Six Nations, Jack brings a wealth of top flight experience to our environment that will benefit us in those periods.
“We are pleased to welcome him to our environment and look forward to working closely with him in the coming months.”
