The former New Zealand A prop, 33, moved to London Irish from Waikato Chiefs in July 2005.

"Glasgow are playing good rugby at the moment and getting big results, so I'm keen to help them move even further forward," said Collins. "I've heard great things about the Magners League too, so I'm looking forward to playing in that."

Warriors coach Sean Lineen welcomed Collins, saying: "This is a fantastic acquisition for Glasgow because Michael is a well respected player and natural leader.

"We have a crop of young props here, like Moray Low, who will learn a huge amount from someone of Michael's experience.

"I have no doubt that he will bring a lot to our plate having seen him play.

"He's a mobile and aggressive player and the fact that he is comfortable on either side of the scrum is a bonus for us."
