He is the first player that the Warriors have signed directly from school; and the first player from the Scottish Rugby Academy to sign a professional contract with a professional club direct from Stage 2 – without needing to move to the Stage 3 placement.

Head Coach Dave Rennie stated: "It’s uncommon for a player to be signed straight from school, but Jamie is one of the most exciting young talents in the country and we believe he’s ready to thrive in a professional environment." [8]

Dobie has signed a two-year deal which will keep him at Scotstoun till 2021. [9] Dobie re-signed with Glasgow to stay for 2+ years in 2021. [10]

Dobie made his debut for Glasgow Warriors against Ulster Rugby on 7 September 2019 at the Kingspan Stadium. [11] He followed that up with another appearance against Ulster on 14 September 2019 at Scotstoun Stadium. [12]

Dobie made his first Pro14 appearance against the Cheetahs in South Africa on 27 September 2019. [13]

International career

Dobie has been capped at Scotland U16s and Scotland U18s. [14] [15] Dobie received his first call up to the senior Scotland squad in February 2021 for the 2021 Six Nations Championship. [16]
