Jersey have signed back-row forward Tommy Spinks from Pro12 finalists Glasgow Warriors.

The 21-year-old captained Scotland at the 2014 Junior World Cup and spent two seasons at London Scottish before moving north last summer.

He featured twice for Glasgow in the Pro12, and also twice for Ospreys in the LV= Cup during a loan spell.

He is the 13th new player to be signed by Jersey boss Harvey Biljon since the end of the season.
