\u201cI\u2019m really grateful for the opportunity,\u201d said Johnston, who played for Emerging Scotland against Italy in December 2024. \u201cI\u2019ve loved my time here so far, so the chance to have another two years in the environment is unreal. I\u2019ve learnt so much so far and I\u2019m excited to keep building.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really cool to see so many of the academy lads signing pro contracts at the same time. I\u2019ve played a lot of rugby with guys like Fergus [Watson] and we\u2019ve all spent time in the academy together, and we\u2019ve really grown as a group. It makes the process so much easier when you\u2019ve got such a good group around you.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe coaching I\u2019ve had here is the best I\u2019ve had throughout my rugby journey so far. To be able to learn from the coaching team, as well as the world-class players we have here, is such a huge thing for me and I want to try and improve as much as I can by taking bits and pieces from everyone\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want to earn more opportunities for this club. If I can keep working hard and keep putting my hand up for game time, then hopefully everything else will follow suit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith added: \u201cKerr is a young player we believe has real potential, as he continues his development with us at Scotstoun.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is a strong carrier with true top-end pace, whose ability to cover both centre and wing is a valuable asset to our squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is keen to keep on building his own all-round game, and we look forward to continuing to work with him for the next couple of seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI\u2019m really grateful for the opportunity,\u201d said Johnston, who played for Emerging Scotland against Italy in December 2024.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":929706,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,85185,918,8979,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-929705","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-divi","10":"tag-glasgow","11":"tag-glasgow-warriors","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-scotland","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116496756219083480","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/929705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=929705"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/929705\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/929706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=929705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=929705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=929705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
