Huw Jones Signs Two-Year Deal to Join Toulon After Season

The Scotland centre’s end-of-season switch underscores Glasgow’s challenge of retaining top talent.

Overview

  • Toulon confirmed the move with a two-year contract and a welcome from sporting director Laurent Emmanuelli, who highlighted Jones’s international pedigree and fit for the club’s project.
  • Jones, 32, will depart Glasgow in the summer after recently returning from Achilles surgery and scoring on his comeback in a Champions Cup win over Clermont.
  • The news follows Adam Hastings’ exit to Montpellier, heightening concern over Glasgow’s squad turnover despite depth options at centre for the current campaign.
  • An established international, Jones has 58 Scotland caps and 23 tries, started all three 2025 British & Irish Lions Tests, and was named in World Rugby’s 2025 Team of the Year.
  • Toulon see Jones adding experience and strike power to their midfield as contract decisions loom for players such as Ma’a Nonu and Jeremy Sinzelle.
