The 22-year-old, who has yet to play a competitive game for the club, has been selected in the Canada squad for this month's international seires against Japan, Russian and Italy.

In 2013, at 19-years-old Sears-Duru made his test debute – becoming the youngest prop and third youngest player to have represented Canada.

In 2015 Sears-Duru played for Canada in all four pool matches at the World Cup in England and was one of only five players to play in all four of Canada's 2015 Pacific Nations Cup matches.

He is the latest player to sign at Glasgow ahead of the new campaign with scrumhalf Nemia Kenatale, winger Leonardo Sarto and hooker Corey Flynn due to arrive, while prop Jarrod Firth and Rory Clegg are already on board.

Commenting on his new contract, Djustice Sears-Duru said: "I've really enjoyed the last few months in Glasgow and I'm very happy to be staying next season. There's a great atmosphere at the club and I've been made to feel very welcome.

"I spent a week out in Italy with the squad back in April which was a great experience and my goal when I return to Glasgow is to work hard for selection," he added.

Glasgow Warriors coach Gregor Townsend said: "Djustice has settled in really well and has impressed in training.

"He's really keen to learn and continue to develop when he plays for Canada and we're looking forward to him returning to Glasgow for pre-season training," Townsend added.
