Glasgow Warriors have announced that centre Mark Bennett has put pen to paper on a new three-year contract at the club.

The 20-year-old re-joined the Scottish outfit last November and broke into the Scotland national team following a stint at French club Clermont Auvergne.

"Since returning to Glasgow last year I've only ever wanted to stay here," Bennett told the club's official website.

"I've enjoyed getting more game time this season and it was a real honour to be called up to the Scotland squad. Like all players I want to win things and I feel I have a real opportunity to do that in Glasgow."

Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend added: "This is excellent news for the club. Mark has started at centre in seven games so far this season and he's continually developing. He has a determination to learn and improve so there is a lot more to come from him in the future."

Bennett has racked up 11 appearances in the RaboDirect PRO12.
