ALLY Miller is “excited” after signing a new deal with Glasgow Warriors.

The back-rower was called into the Scotland squad for the first time during this year’s Guinness Six Nations.

Now, he has extended his stay at Scotstoun until the summer of 2026 at least.

The 27-year-old is the latest Warrior to pledge his immediate future to the club ahead of the new campaign, the Preston Lodge product having enjoyed a breakout season in Glasgow colours.

Having initially made the switch from cross-country rivals Edinburgh in the summer of 2021, former Scotland 7s standout Miller has impressed across all three back-row positions in 2023/24, enjoying a run of standout performances for Franco Smith’s squad.

“I’m really excited to re-sign,” Miller told glasgowwarriors.org

“Since arriving at the club, I’ve been really fortunate to receive the opportunities that I have, but I’ve also had a few injuries.

“I’ve loved the stretch of game time that I’ve had this season, and knowing that Franco has the confidence in you and the squad to get the job done is testament to how much everyone is pulling in the right direction.

“I’ve just enjoyed getting my head down and working hard to get back into action, and everyone at the club has been brilliant.

“That was a big factor in my decision to renew, because knowing that people at the club have faith in you and what you contribute to the team is massive.

“I’m loving being a part of the club, and I’m grateful for every opportunity I get.”

Miller, of Longniddry, also scored his first try for his club in memorable fashion when he outpaced the Bayonne defence from 40 metres during December’s 12-11 win at the Stade Jean Dauger.

A similarly memorable finish followed just a week later in the 22-10 victory over Edinburgh at Scotstoun and his form was recognised when he was called into the senior national set up for the first time.

He said: “It’s a cliché, but we just take each game as it comes.

“Having the whole squad aligned has been huge for us this season, and the character being shown from everyone really shines through.”

Smith was delighted by the form shown by Miller, who also played for Musselburgh.

He said: “Ally has shown great dedication to come back from the long-term injury he suffered last season, and he has taken every opportunity that has come his way with both hands.

“He has been a big contributor for us this season, not just on the field but around the training environment.

“He’s a very detailed player and person and he gives his all across the board.”
