James Eddie and Jerry Yanuyanutawa have signed new deals with Glasgow Warriors, ahead of Saturday's PRO12 final.

Both players have signed one-year deals and will be staying with the Scottish club until at least May 2016.
 
Back-row forward Eddie, 29, has made 119 appearances for the club during a 10-year spell in Glasgow, which has seen him become one of the longest-serving players at the club.
 
Eddie was captain of the Warriors' Melrose Sevens-winning squad and has also represented Scotland Sevens on the HSBC Sevens World Series.
 
Eddie said: "I've spent my whole career in Glasgow and I'm very happy to have extended my stay at the club. The supporters are incredible and I love playing for the Warriors.”
 
Fiji prop international Yanuyanutawa, 30, joined the Warriors from London Irish in 2013 and has gone on to make 30 appearances for the side.

Yanuyanutawa said: "My wife and I have really enjoyed the last two years in Glasgow and it was an easy decision to stay for another season. I'm looking forward to my third season with the Warriors and continuing to challenge for silverware.”

"Both players have played their part in getting us to the GUINNESS PRO12 final and we're lucky to have them.
