Scottish rugby club, the Glasgow Warriors, have signed David Tameilau (28) on a two year deal. The American loose forward of Tongan descent hails from Redwood City, California.

Tameilau has made nine appearances for the United States national team since 2016. He played for French rugby club RC Narbonne for two years.

Tameliau stated, “I’m really excited about playing in the European Rugby Champions Cup with Glasgow Warriors next season, it’s something I’ve been wanting to do since I moved to France and now I’ll have that opportunity,”

“It was great playing in France. It was tough rugby, but a good learning experience for me. I took a lot from being there and I’ve grown as a player as well. Playing in France has helped prepare me for going to Glasgow and I’m a better player for that experience.”
