Rob Harley, Glasgow’s record appearance maker, has signed a new two-year contract with the Guinness PRO14 club.

The 29-year-old flanker, who is now committed until at least the summer of 2022, is the only player to have surpassed 200 appearances for the Warriors, having made his debut in the opening match of the 2010-11 season.

Harley, who has scored 11 tries for Glasgow, also boasts 21 Scotland caps and shares the club’s European appearance record of 50 with former hooker Gordon Bulloch.

“We’ve got a good group of guys here – it’s always fun to come in and train, and then play alongside those guys,” Harley told the club’s website. “I’m glad that I’ll be around for the next couple of seasons.

“I don’t have a target (for appearances), I just want to play as many games as I can for Glasgow.”

Danny Wilson, who will take over from Wallabies-bound Glasgow head coach Dave Rennie ahead of the 2020-21 season, said: “Rob has been with the club a long time and we’re really pleased that he has decided to stay.

“He has so much experience, having made 227 appearances, and he’ll be a real asset for us over the next couple of years.”

Should England stick or twist with Borthwick? RWC27 clock cannot be used as an excuse

SB won one premiership playing his brand of Rugby but then the other teams found them out, fronted up physically and Tigers game plan was exposed. Under Parling they are a much more attractive version of the Tigers. When the current coaching team were appointed my heart sank because they are inexperienced at test level, they bring nothing fresh and the approach they bring is inflexible. They are completely out of their depth (Blackett apart) I agree what on earth is Wigglesworth doing coaching defence? Think the results speak for themselves. Some of their selections have been unfathomable and lacking imagination. Freeman is not a 13 at the highest level. He is a world class winger. Steward same; just not the same standard as Ramos, Kinghorn and Keenan (when he is fit).Furbank has to come into the equation. Marcus is a 10 not a 15 but he needs a strong 12 to play around. It is way too soon for Pollock to be in the side and he is increasingly a distraction. We need a proper 8 as well. Last night I watched Lawrence, Ojomoh et al take a good Saracens side apart. Why can’t England play like Bath Bristol and Northampton? The answer is because SB doesn’t believe in that style or maybe doesn’t understand how to implement it. The time for change is now not after the RWC. Most England fans would forgive getting beaten in South Africa and Argentina over the summer if there was a new regime in place and signs of change. Fans pay well over the odds to watch England play boring ineffective rugby. I can’t see it happening, but boycotting home games is probably the only message the RFU would understand. The list of names available all represent an improvement. I would also add Rob Baxter; not a fan of Exeter but he always speaks a lot of sense. All said, it’s depressing to think that we are saddled not only with a poor coaching team, but also with the RFU none of whom should be allowed anywhere near the national team(s). Sweeny et al are the real culprits in all of this.
