Glasgow have signed centre Peter Murchie from London Welsh on a two-year deal.

The former Bath player has represented England Under-18s but qualifies for Scotland through his Ayrshire-born father.

"My dad used to play for Ardrossan and is a very passionate Scotsman," said the 23-year-old. "He's always been keen to get me back north of the border so this move realises an ambition for the two of us."

He added: "Moving to Glasgow is a good way to further my career because it's another step up.

"I've managed to see a few games on television towards the end of the season and they've scored some great tries.

"You only have to look at the number of young Scottish players at the Warriors who are all playing international rugby."

Glasgow coach Sean Lineen, said: "I'm excited by the find of Peter Murchie. He has the raw material that we can shape into a special player. He will also add some real depth to our exciting back-line."

Meanwhile, Warriors have re-signed prop Ed Kalman on a two-year-deal.

Lineen said: "I'm excited by Ed's potential. He has to work hard to progress but I know he has the talent to go a long way. There is a steely edge to Ed's game which I like."
