Scottish qualified courtesy of his Glaswegian mother, Matthews had previously caught the eye in his outings for Boroughmuir in the Tennent’s Premiership.
His first try in Glasgow colours came in December 2020, touching down in the 83rd minute against the Dragons at Scotstoun.
Matthews then went on to create club history against the Dragons at Scotstoun, crossing for five tries in a single match – a feat never before achieved by a Glasgow Warrior.
Further history followed at the end of 2023, as a try in victory over Edinburgh at Scotstoun saw the hooker become the first Warrior to ever record 20 tries in a calendar year.
The hooker was called up to Scotland’s squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup, marking his debut in typical Matthews fashion by finishing off a flowing team move to score against Romania in Lille.
