GLASGOW WARRIORS have completed the signing of fly-half Adam Hastings from Bath on a two-year deal.
The 20-year-old, son of Scotland legend Gavin Hastings, will arrive at Scotstoun this summer and remain until at least May 2019.
Hastings has made 12 appearances for the English Premiership side this season and has represented Scotland at all age-grade levels.
He becomes the fourth signing to be announced by the Warriors for next season, joining fellow new arrivals Huw Jones, Oli Kebble and Callum Gibbins.
"From a young age I wanted to play for Scotland and I believe playing in Scotland is the right decision for me at this stage of my career," Hastings told glasgowwarriors.org.
"As a young 10 it's important to get game-time and hopefully I'll get that opportunity in Glasgow.
"I'm excited about working under Dave Rennie as I've heard he is a world class coach.
"There are some quality players in Glasgow and I can't wait to get up there and start working with them.
"I like to run the ball, I'm quite an instinctive player and I like to have a crack. I like the way Finn (Russell) plays and I can't wait to get up there and learn from him.
"Glasgow are flying at the moment, they've got a good thing going and seem to be a really tight-knit team.
"Qualifying for the Quarter-Finals in Europe was a big statement of where the club is going and I'm excited to be joining them next season."
Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend added: "Adam trained with us a couple of years ago and he has really developed during his time at Bath, working with the likes of George Ford and Rhys Priestland.
"It's great that he has decided to move back to Scotland and I'm sure he'll fit in very well at Scotstoun next season."
