Stafford McDowall

​Stafford McDowall made his debut for Glasgow Warriors against Southern Kings in October 2017.

A Scotland international at U18 and U20 level, Stafford McDowall signed his first professional contract with Glasgow Warriors in 2018.

The Ayr RFC player is comfortable in both the centres and the back three, with his size making him a significant threat in attack. Having represented the Warriors in their pre-season match against Northampton Saints at Bridgehaugh in August 2017, McDowall made his competitive debut for the club in a 43-13 victory over the Southern Kings at Scotstoun.

His form in 2018/19 saw him rewarded with the Land Rover Young Player of the Season award, following an eye-catching campaign in the Warriors midfield.

McDowall was selected amongst Scotland’s squad for the 2017 World Rugby U20s Championship in Georgia, where he helped his side to a best-ever finish of fifth place, before being named as captain for the 2018 edition of the tournament.
