Stormers fly-half Brandon Thomson will re-join Glasgow Warriors on a permanent contract ahead of the 2017-18 season.

The 22-year-old was on loan with the Warriors earlier this year, playing three times and scoring a try on his debut against Ulster.

Thomson, who can play at fly-half and full-back, scored 26 points for the Stormers in seven Super Rugby appearances - he has also represented South Africa U20s at the Junior World Rugby Championship.

"I'm very excited to be heading back to Scotstoun" he said. "I really enjoyed my short stint there earlier in the year. The relationships I built in Glasgow were definitely a big contributing factor to going back."

Thomson's Stormers team-mates Huw Jones and Oli Kebble will also be joining him at Glasgow Warriors this season.

Thomson added: "The likes of Huw and Oli also being there is awesome. It's like bringing a little bit of home with me."
