Adam Sinclair, 19, from Bannockburn, who was a boarding pupil at Loretto School and left last year, has signed a professional rugby contract for Perpignan, France.
Adam, who was awarded a Rugby Scholarship at Loretto School, played for Scotland under-20s this season in the Six Nations Championship, scoring a try against France at Netherdale.
He has also recently represented Scotland in the IRB Junior World Championships in South. Africa. After leaving Loretto School, Adam left for South Africa to play with the Western Province institute last summer for three months and they came back and offered him the chance to play this summer in the junior Currie Cup, so he was planning to stay there after the Junior World Championship. However, with the offer of a full-time two year contract at the French club Perpignan, this plan had to be put on hold!
