But where will the Scottish colossus go? At 35, Richie Gray doesn’t have much left to prove. However, the second line has just announced thathe left Glasgow Warriors at the end of November. Without saying more, he only indicated that he had already accepted the offer from a foreign club.
In a press release published by his club, URC 2024 champion, the player does not hide his enthusiasm for this new adventure. “This move is a fantastic opportunity for me and a really exciting change for my family. I look forward to the challenge that awaits me”, argues the Scottish international.

Resident of Top 14 from 2013 to 2020, in Castres then Toulouse, Richie Gray knows the French championship well. If his destination has not yet been leaked, the trip will take place after the autumn international window, where the player could be called to bid farewell to the selection. Far from Great Britain and Ireland, could the colossus return?

Given the situation of certain clubs, a finish in the Top 14 as a medical Joker would be far from impossible. Some Top 14 teams have had serious problems in the cage. Recently, the USAP lost Posolo Tuilagi for many months and Swan Rebbadj suffered the same fate on the RCT side. Other clubs are also under pressure in this position, like the Paloise section.
However, there is no clear indication that the Scotsman is going to France. From a calendar point of view, an arrival in Super Rugby does not seem to coincide, but on the other side of the globe, an arrival in Japan League One could also be likely. Indeed, the Japanese championship resumes at the start of winter, at the end of December.
Richie Gray? Here, control tower
Throughout his career, Richie Gray shook the airspace of the rugby pitches. Formidable on the touchline, the Scot is also an excellent tackler and a skillful ball player. His rugby skills allowed him to earn 79 caps with Scotland and one appearance with the British Lions, over an international career spanning almost 15 years.
At club level, the player was regularly bothered by injuries. But from the height of 2.06 meters, the colossus of Rutherglen had the opportunity to lift some trophies. Among others, he won the 2018-2019 Top 14 with Stade Toulousain, after a final lost to Castres Olympique in 2014. Recently, he also won the United Rugby Championship with the Glasgow Warriors, carried by a great generation and some generous veterans.
