<\/p>\nRitchie said: \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to joining the Warriors. It\u2019s a club for which I\u2019ve always had a lot of respect, and I can\u2019t wait to get started.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of my best mates are there, so I\u2019ve had a good idea of what the place is like for a while. They talk about how it pushes them to be better players, but also how close they all are off the field. That means a lot to me. You want to be somewhere you feel part of something, and Glasgow genuinely has that.\u00a0 Franco has done a brilliant job with the club. You only have to look at how competitive they\u2019ve been over the last few years to see that, and I really enjoy the way they approach the game. It\u2019s a style that suits me and I\u2019m excited to be a part of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI obviously know the Scotstoun crowd well enough from being on the other side of things \u2013 hopefully I\u2019ll be getting a slightly warmer reception this time around! Ultimately, I just want to come in, work hard, and play my best rugby for this club. I\u2019m really looking forward to representing Glasgow and giving everything I\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/p>\n

Head coach Smith added: \u201cWe are pleased to be able to add a player of Jamie\u2019s calibre to our playing group ahead of next season, as we look to build upon the foundations we have already created at Scotstoun. His ability to play across the back-row will be a real asset to our squad, as will the experience he brings following his time in France, in the URC and with Scotland.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know the Warrior Nation will welcome Jamie with as much energy and enthusiasm as they bring each week, and we look forward to seeing and hearing those energy levels once again at Murrayfield this Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n
