Kerr Yule described signing his first pro contract as a "dream come true"
Glasgow Warriors academy centre Kerr Yule has described signing his first professional contract as a "dream come true", after putting pen to paper on a two-year deal with his boyhood club.

The 20-year-old becomes the seventh academy graduate to step into the professional ranks ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, joining Macenzzie Duncan, Matthew Urwin, Jack Oliver, Johnny Ventisei, Fergus Watson and Seb Stephen in making the step up.

Yule's progression follows a breakthrough campaign at Scotstoun, having made his debut in the opening match of the 2025/26 season. The centre played his part in a victory over the Hollywoodbets Sharks in front of the Warrior Nation, marking a memorable first appearance in Glasgow colours.

A product of West of Scotland RFC, Yule has made four appearances to date, most recently featuring in February's meeting with Connacht at the Dexcom Stadium.

Having represented the club across multiple age grades - including U18, U20, U23 and A level - Yule also holds the distinction of being the most-capped Scotland U20 player in history, earning his 25th cap during last summer's World Rugby U20 Championship clash with Georgia.

Speaking following the announcement, Yule told glasgowwarriors.org: "I'm absolutely buzzing. I've been coming to Glasgow Warriors matches for longer than I can remember - I think I first came to a game when I was maybe five or six years old. To sign my first pro deal with the Warriors means everything to me.

"If you told me at the start of this season that I'd be involved as much as I have been, I probably wouldn't have believed you. I'm just grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way from Franco and the coaches this year, and to make my debut in the first game of the season was an unreal experience.

"It's also class to be graduating from the academy amongst such a good bunch of guys I've grown up playing with. To have all been in the academy for the last three years and to now be signing pro deals together is class.

"I just want to keep working hard and putting my hand up for more opportunities to play. Whenever those opportunities come my way, I want to be in the best position possible to take them with both hands and improve week by week."

Head Coach Franco Smith added: "Even at a relatively young age, Kerr is a dynamic ball-carrier and someone that we believe can make a big impact for the future of this club.

"He has worked hard and put in the time to develop areas of his game that have been identified as areas to work on, and he is always willing to learn from those around him.

"He is also someone who cares deeply about being a Glasgow Warrior, and we know he will give his all for this club."
