Scott Wight joined Glasgow Warriors on a two-year deal in the summer of 2011 and signed for a further one year in 2013.
Galashiels born Scott joined the Warriors from Melrose where he skippered the club to Premier One and Melrose Sevens titles in 2011.
Scott is enjoying getting to grips with the demands of full-time rugby.
"This is a whole different ball game to being a club player, no matter how much time you train," he said. "It's tough but I'm really enjoying it; it's what I always wanted to do.
"The camp with the marines (at RM Condor in Arbroath) was unbelievable - I have never done anything like that before - but the whole pre-season has been great.
"We had the ball in early on, which was great, but there is a lot of fitness, strength and conditioning, as you'd expect, and it's all brilliant. I'm improving every week, and learning loads. Rest periods are really rest periods for example. If you've got a 90-minute/two-hour session of fitness and strength and conditioning in the morning, and then another in the afternoon, or skills, you can't function if you'd not had your rest and eaten properly, never mind improve.
"I lost about six kgs (nearly a stone] through the sevens at the end of last season and I'm struggling even to get back to the 88kgs (13st 12lbs] I was, never mind bigger, even with the six or seven meals I'm having every day, because you burn off so much. But the gym is massive for me and I'm loving it. The feeling of being able to put it in morning and afternoon, day after day, without worrying about the day job as a joiner is what I've always wanted and I'm making the most of it. It might take time, but I know I'll be a better player because of it."
