"There's been some good seasons, some poor seasons but on the whole I've thoroughly enjoyed it.
"I've made some mates for life. Some that aren't at the club now but that's what it's all about for me, the friendships you make and the memories you make with these guys.
"I'll be forever grateful to those guys, for one for making me feel so welcome when I first came down here but it has been like a family for me."

Leinster 'the benchmark' but Glasgow have momentum, says McKay
Josh McKay is taking confidence from the commanding win over Stormers as Glasgow look to unseat top seeds Leinster on Saturday and reach the URC Smith's side head to Dublin to face the title favourites after keeping their defence of the trophy alive by bouncing back from three straight defeats with a 36-18 victory over Stormers at Scotstoun last weekend."That performance on Friday night was arguably one of the best of the team this season," said winger McKay."There's plenty we can take from that game, both on the good side and also what we can work on as well."We didn't build heaps of phases. Our discipline was a little bit poor and we'd probably like to have a little bit more ball."But it was definitely positive. We were able to put a few moves together and do enough to get the job done. It was a massive game in front of our home crowd."McKay knows Leinster have "been the benchmark" in the URC this season but insists Warriors are capable of defying the odds."Leinster away is a big game. We see a lot of teams go over there and struggle. I guess it's a credit to what they've built over many years," he added."They've got a hugely deep squad and they show every year that they can go deep into these competitions."We know what's ahead of us. We just need to front up with the right mindset. That's huge. If we can turn up and be where we want to be physically, we respect what they bring and we know what they bring, but we've got to focus on ourselves."
