Jack, who will join recently recruited former Glasgow Warriors’ front-row Kevin Bryce in a new look GHK team, said: “I’m delighted to be signing for GHK next season and to be forming an alliance with my old coach Peter Wright again makes it extra special.

"I got the call from Peter when I was just a 19-year-old lad and we hit it off from the start.

“Peter is a very knowledgeable coach with a lot of big game experience.

"I will always be eternally grateful that he gave me the opportunity to play for Scotland and started me out on the journey.
