YOUNG Warriors signing Lochie Glackin is aiming to learn as much as possible and ready to take any opportunities "with both hands."

The Scottish age-grade fly-half is one of the fresh faces through the doors at Sixways Stadium, following Warriors' Champ Rugby-winning return season.

Glackin who joins straight out of school with Denstone College, having previously represented both Leicester Tigers Academy and Scotland under-18s, said he is "really excited" to get started with Warriors.

"It's really good to get in with the group," he said. "They're a really nice group of boys, really looking forward to pre-season and the season ahead.

"This season I just want to come in and learn. There’s such a good group in-and-around my position, like Bill (Twelvetrees), Tiff (Eden), Rory (Taylor), Reedy (Will Reed).

"(I just want to) sponge as much as I can off them over the block and any opportunities that come, take them with both hands."

The young fly-half described his game as physical with multiple threats.

"Playing at 10, I like to control things with kick, pass, run, threat," he said.

"I’d say my kicking is one of my best attributes and then just trying to be as much of a threat as I can whilst controlling the team and then physically fronting up as well."

When Glackin joined the club alongside fellow young talent Jack Hopson, head coach Matt Everard said: "We are delighted to welcome Lochie and Jack to Sixways ahead of next season.

"Both players are exciting talents with Lochie progressing with Scotland under-18s and Jack developing his rugby over in France with Valence Romans.

"Bringing both to the club shows the exciting steps we are taking to build for the future and this will also grow with the imminent launch of the Academy."
