Our success in the East Leagues has to be contributed to you. Rory Stewart

Scottish Squash would like to wish Rory Stewart all the best following his retirement from professional squash.

The Perthshire player reached a career-high world ranking of 40 in December 2023, and spent a decade on the PSA tour, winning 10 titles along the way.

Rory won a Commonwealth Games doubles bronze medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, bringing an end to Scotland’s 24 year wait for a squash medal at the games.

As Rory embarks on a new career as an Assistant Golf Professional, we thank him for his contribution to Scottish squash and wish him every success for the future.

Go Rory Stewart

Rory Stewart is ready to embrace a new role as leader at this week's European Team Championships in Amsterdam.

Having been influenced by Greg Lobban and Alan Clyne during his international career, the Muthil squash star is ready to set the standard for a new generation as Scotland's first string player.

💬 "With me getting a bit older and the younger ones coming into the team, it’s my time to step into that leadership role."
