Scotland prop signs new Borders deal

Scotland prop Bruce Douglas has signed a new two-year deal with The Borders.

The 24-year-old has become an international regular after impressing with the professional team.

Now Douglas is looking forward to the prospect of a new coach at the club after Tony Gilbert left at the end of the season.

He said: “I am very happy to be re-signing for The Borders for the next two years.

“I am really enjoying my time at Netherdale and know that, as we grow, we will become a very competitive club.

“I now look forward to preparing for the 2004/05 season with a new managerial direction.

“The Borders is really at the heart of this community, and I am proud to continue to be part of that.”
