Former England hooker Jack Singleton will continue his return to professional rugby with Glasgow Warriors after signing a short-term deal with the club.
The 30-year-old has linked up with Franco Smith’s squad with immediate effect, just over a year after suffering a cardiovascular event during Gloucester training in September 2025.
Singleton spent last season undergoing an extensive rehabilitation programme before Gloucester confirmed in August that he was approaching a return to full training, although he would not be contracted at Kingsholm for the 2026/27 campaign.

The four-cap England international has now been cleared to resume his career at Scotstoun, where he will add depth behind Scotland internationals Gregor Hiddleston and Seb Stephen. Scottish-qualified through his grandparents, Singleton previously made 75 appearances and scored 20 tries for Gloucester after spells with Worcester Warriors and Saracens.
He also spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Toulon and faced Glasgow in the Investec Champions Cup, while his arrival comes days before the Warriors begin their latest European campaign with a trip to Sale Sharks on Saturday.
“It’s been really good so far,” Singleton said. “All the lads have been really welcoming. I’m incredibly grateful to be here and I’m looking forward to getting stuck into it with the boys.
“I couldn’t be more pleased to be back in rugby. It’s been a long old year, and for Glasgow to give me this opportunity is something for which I’m incredibly grateful. I’m excited to be in the clear and get back out onto a pitch.
“I watched Glasgow a lot in the Champions Cup last year. I saw that run they went on, and watched them beat Toulouse at home where the atmosphere looked incredible.”
Head coach Smith added: “With Gregor Hiddleston and Seb Stephen having both made their Scotland debuts over the summer and with both players likely to be involved during the Nations Championship and Guinness Six Nations, Jack brings a wealth of top-flight experience into our environment that will benefit us during those periods.
“We are pleased to welcome him into our environment and look forward to working closely with him over the coming months.”
