T-Bone has signed for another two years
Glasgow Warriors announce today that prop and Canadian captain Kevin Tkachuk has re-signed with the pro-team for a further two seasons.

Kevin originally joined the Warriors in the summer of 2004 after gaining a masters degree in history from Oxford University and becoming an Oxford Blue (2001-03), scoring a try for Oxford against Australia in the process. He also had a period with Henley Hawks in England and a sojourn with Pertemps Bees.

Warriors head coach Hugh Campbell said: "Kevin is a great asset to our side. He's a central part of our front row plans and I'm very pleased he's decided to stay with Glasgow. He's a very mobile prop and his scoring record with us has proved that he's also impressive with the ball in hand. He's been one of our outstanding players this year both in the set piece and in the loose and he brings a lot of valuable experience to our side from his time in international rugby."

Kevin added: "Glasgow have been very good to me in allowing me to continue to play international rugby as being part of the Canadian team is an important part of my career. I don't feel that I, or the team, have achieved what I came here to do in Glasgow and I feel we have a lot more potential than may have been indicated so far this season so that is another reason to stay with the team as we as a club have so much more to offer. Hopefully with everyone staying fit and healthy in years to come, Glasgow will be even more of a force to be reckoned with in the Celtic League."

A ray of light at last!
T-Bone has been a massive player for us since he arrived. Delighted that he's staying.

Bloody good news - and about time too! Recently, all we've heard about is the players who are leaving us!

T-Bone has been one of our stand-out performers this season, and I'm sure he would not have been short of offers to join other clubs, so it is great that he has chosen to stay.

great news about a great player.
And what I like best about T-Bone is how obviously he really really hates losing. ever seen his face when he's come off early and we're behind?
