The Glasgow Warriors have officially announced that Huw Jones will be leaving for French shores to join the ranks of RC Toulon post this season. This migration to the Top 14 is set for the culmination of the current rugby campaign, marking a significant shift for the seasoned centre.
Huw Jones, a stalwart in the Warriors lineup, has been sidelined for a significant portion of the season due to Achilles surgery but made a triumphant return during Glasgow's 33-21 triumph against Clermont Auvergne. Not just making up numbers, Jones scored a pivotal try, adding to the tally that helped secure the victory in the Investec Champions Cup clash.
During his tenure at Scotstoun, Jones has notched up 82 appearances and has been instrumental in Glasgow's strategies, particularly highlighted by his performance in the 2023/24 season, leading to their United Rugby Championship (URC) victory. His prowess was on full display in the 2024 URC final, where his try was crucial in clinching the title against the Bulls with a 21-16 scoreline.
Following his exploits at the club and international level, Jones's excellence was further acknowledged with a selection for the 2025 British & Irish Lions tour of Australia, where he continued to impress, scoring in the critical second Test in Melbourne.
"Huw has been a vital cog in the Warriors machine, and his contributions will be missed. We wish him all the best at Toulon,"
the Warriors expressed in a heartfelt statement, reinforcing their commitment to work with Jones until his departure.
Toulon's sporting director, Laurent Emmanuelli, couldn't hide his enthusiasm about acquiring such a talent, stating,
"He is an international-class player, a key member of his national team, who has long been playing at the highest European and world levels."
Starting his career with the Stormers in 2015, Jones later moved to Glasgow in 2017, then to Harlequins in 2021, before making a return to Glasgow. His impending move to Toulon follows the recent announcement of Adam Hastings' transition to Montpellier, signaling a significant reshuffling in the Glasgow roster. As Jones prepares for his next chapter in France, his legacy at Glasgow remains indelibly marked by his remarkable performances and leadership on the field.
