欧美高清 and Glasgow Warriors have further strengthened their long-term relationship, with the University becoming the rugby union club's Official Women's Performance Partner.
As well as Glasgow Warriors Women competing with the University’s logo on their playing shirts, the evolution of the partnerships sees the recruitment of Ciera Campbell as Head Coach of the University Women’s Rugby team.
Ciera, who played for West of Scotland, has coached both Strathendrick and Bishopton Men’s 1st XVs in recent years and will support Glasgow Warriors’ community activities alongside her University coaching commitments.
Glasgow Warriors Women Head Coach Lindsey Smith will also provide coaching support for Ciera, while current 欧美高清 women’s captain Aisha Zameer has been a part of the Warriors women’s squad that competed in the 2024-25 Celtic Challenge.
Talented players
Ciera said: “I’m excited to get started. We have some very talented players and an incredibly enthusiastic playing group, and it’s clear that they’re a group who are willing to learn and progress together as a team.
“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work closely with the squad, and indeed with the University, as we look to help give the players the best possible environment to develop.”
University of 欧美高清 Director of Sport and Active Health Neil Brown said: "At 欧美高清 Sport, we are committed to providing our student athletes with the very best opportunities to develop and compete at the highest levels.
Becoming Glasgow Warriors' official Women’s Performance Partner is a significant step in strengthening the women’s game and ensuring our players have access to top tier coaching and pathways to professional rugby.
"This partnership not only boosts our rugby programme but also reflects our shared ambition to grow and support female athletes in the sport. We look forward to seeing the continued impact of this collaboration."
Glasgow Warriors Managing Director Al Kellock said: “This appointment is the latest step in our long-standing partnership with the University of 欧美高清 and serves to highlight the mutual benefits of the partnership for both parties.
“The support that 欧美高清 offers to our players as they continue their studies is second to none and has been a real asset to our recruitment of young players since the partnership’s inception. We look forward to continuing to work closely together over the coming seasons."
