Glasgow Warriors Star Facundo Cordero Secures Long-Term Future with Contract Extension Until 2028
Glasgow Warriors have confirmed that Argentine winger Facundo Cordero has committed his long-term future to the club, signing a contract extension that will keep him at Scotstoun until the summer of 2028.
The announcement comes as a major boost for the Warriors, with Cordero rapidly becoming a fan favourite since joining the team. Known for his electric pace, dazzling footwork, and defensive tenacity, the 25-year-old has impressed both fans and coaching staff with his consistent performances and work ethic on and off the field.
Cordero, who joined the club from Exeter Chiefs in 2023, has made a significant impact in the United Rugby Championship and European competitions. His ability to break the line and create scoring opportunities has added a new dimension to the Glasgow backline.

Speaking after the announcement, Cordero expressed his excitement about extending his stay in Scotland. “I’m absolutely thrilled to be continuing my journey with Glasgow Warriors. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home here. The support from the fans, the quality of the coaching, and the ambition of the club made this an easy decision for me,” he said.
“I believe we have something special building here, and I want to be a part of it. There’s a real hunger in this group to achieve success, and I’m committed to helping us reach those goals over the next few years.”
Head Coach Franco Smith praised Cordero’s impact on the squad and welcomed the news of his extension. “Facundo is a top-class professional and a real asset to this team. He brings energy, skill, and a winning mentality every time he takes the field. He’s also a great character off the pitch who embodies the values we hold as a club.”
The deal highlights Glasgow Warriors’ intent to retain and build around key talent as they aim to compete at the highest level in domestic and European competitions. With Cordero now secured for the long term, the Warriors have taken a strong step in their ongoing squad development.
As the 2025 season progresses, fans will be eager to see more of Cordero’s magic in a Glasgow jersey—now with the reassurance that he’s here to stay.
