O'Hare agrees new Glasgow terms

O'Hare has been with Glasgow for almost four years

Glasgow Warriors' utility back Hefin O'Hare has signed a new two-year contract extension.

The 29-year-old Scotland Sevens international joined the Warriors in September 2005 after a spell in rugby league with Huddersfield Giants.

Glasgow coach Sean Lineen said: "Hefin epitomises the spirit of the Warriors and has a heart as big as a lion.

"He's still learning but he brings a real energy to training and I know the best is yet to come."

Meanwhile, hooker Pat MacArthur and full-back Peter Horne, who are both members of Scottish Rugby's Contracted National Academy, have been given full-time professional contracts by Glasgow.

MacArthur, who helped Ayr lift the SHE Premier One title earlier this season, said: "I've been in the National Academy for the last two years and it's a great feeling to finally realise a lifelong ambition of becoming a Glasgow player.

Horne, who scored all of Scotland's points in the 18-17 win against Wales during the 2009 Under-20 Six Nations match at McDiarmid Park in February, said: "I've always wanted to be a professional rugby player since I was a kid.

"I've got my foot in the door now so the ball is in my court to make things happen. I'm eager to repay the faith in me shown by Sean and the coaching staff. The real hard work starts now."
