Van der Merwe joined in 2009 and his new contract runs until 2013<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\t\t
<\/p>\n

Canada wing DTH van der Merwe has signed a new two-year deal with Glasgow Warriors, subject to having a UK work permit and visa extended.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Warriors say the 24-year-old was the subject of interest from other clubs, having become the Magners League’s joint-second top try scorer. <\/p>\n

“It was quite an easy decision to make,” he told the Warriors website. <\/p>\n

“Sean Lineen (head coach) gave me a shot two years ago and now it’s time to repay that faith.” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Centre Graeme Morrison extended his Glasgow contract last month, while Saracens lock Tom Ryder and Ulster wing Tommy Seymour have been signed up for next season. <\/p>\n

However, centre Max Evans, flanker Richie Vernon and full-back Bernardo Stortoni will all be leaving Warriors this summer.<\/p>\n

\t\t\tWe’ve had a bit of a slow season this year but we can only build from here and hopefully, over the next five games, we can start that process for next season<\/b>

“I’ve enjoyed my time with Glasgow and I now want to build on what we have here,” said Canada international van der Merwe. <\/p>\n

“We’ve had a bit of a slow season this year, but we can only build from here and hopefully, over the next five games, we can start that process for next season. <\/p>\n

“A lot of the players here have over 100 caps for the club and are still only 24 or 25 years old so there is a lot of experience, internationally as well, despite them being young guys. They will be a key factor for Glasgow in the years to come.” <\/p>\n

Lineen was delighted to retain van der Merwe. <\/p>\n

“It’s great news for the team and for the supporters as well,” said the Glasgow coach. <\/p>\n

“He wants to stay, which is important, and to have an X-Factor player like that makes all the difference. He’s a great weapon to have out on the wing. <\/p>\n

“He is a good player, has a good attitude and is a quality athlete.”\n<\/p>\n
