Talakai agrees Glasgow Warriors move
- Published
Australia tighthead prop Sam Talakai has agreed to join Glasgow Warriors, subject to visa.
The United Rugby Championship club say "the 32-year-old will link up with his new team-mates at Scotstoun in the coming weeks".
Former Waratahs player Talakai has made a century of Super Rugby appearances and was most recently with Melbourne Rebels. He won his solitary senior international cap in a 2022 win over Wales.
As well as representing Australia A and the Barbarians, the prop also had a four-year spell in Japan with Tokyo Sungoliath.
"I’ve heard nothing but good things about the club and the people, and the direction the club is heading played a big part," Talakai told the Glasgow website.
"There’s a great squad assembled and my kids getting to experience a new culture – both as part of Glasgow Warriors and in the city of Glasgow – is the cherry on top.
"I’m someone who just goes to work and executes my core role for the team."
