Bears sign Scotland's Jordan for next season

Bristol Bears have agreed a deal to sign versatile Scotland international Tom Jordan from Glasgow Warriors at the end of the season.

The 26-year-old will join up with his new club in preparation for the 2025-26 campaign.

Jordan made 21 appearances as Glasgow won the United Rugby Championship last term.

He came off the bench to make his international debut against Fiji earlier this month and has since started the next two autumn internationals at full-back for Gregor Townsend's side.

BBC Sport Scotland first revealed the move had been agreed on Thursday.

"I'm really excited to be joining Bristol Bears for the next chapter of my career," Jordan told the Bears website.

"I've had an incredible few seasons with Glasgow Warriors and I'm really grateful to the club for the opportunities they have given me. I'm completely committed and focused on finishing the season on a high and giving my all for the club."

Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Jordan qualifies to play for Scotland on residency grounds after initially moving to the country to play for Ayrshire Bulls in the now-disbanded Super Six.

Jordan - who can play at centre, fly-half and full-back - moved to Warriors in 2022 and has made 55 appearances to date, scoring 104 points.

The length of his contract has not been specified.
