Peter said: "I've always wanted to be a professional rugby player since I was a kid so to finally be offered a contract is a fantastic feeling.
"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."
"Peter has real potential," said Glasgow coach Sean Lineen. "From the moment he played in his first back-up game last year I spotted real talent and a high level of confidence and ability.
"Peter has a real desire and focus and has a totally professional attitude which is something I find refreshing in one so young.
