- 1341
Glasgow Warriors have continued their recruitment drive ahead of the 2021/22 campaign, with Scotland international prop Simon Berghan becoming the latest player to agree to join Danny Wilson’s squad this summer.
The 30-year-old makes the switch to Scotstoun following six seasons at Edinburgh, and joins a pack that also includes the recently re-signed Scott Cummings and Tom Gordon, as well as fellow incoming arrival Jamie Bhatti.
Standing at 6’3”, Berghan initially joined Edinburgh on a one-year deal having caught the eye for Crusader Knights, the development squad of Super Rugby’s Crusaders.
The tight-head has made 89 appearances to date for the capital outfit, including the 2018/19 Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final against Munster and the 2019/20 Guinness PRO14 semi-final clash with Ulster.
Berghan will have the opportunity to add to his 28 caps in a Scotland jersey over the course of the next six weeks, having been selected amongst Gregor Townsend’s playing group for the 2021 Guinness Six Nations.
Speaking about his impending move to Scotstoun, Berghan told glasgowwarriors.org: “Danny [Wilson] gave me a call and outlined what he’s looking to build at Scotstoun over the next few years, and it sounds like a really exciting time to get involved with the club..."
