In season 2006–07, too, he was in the Bell Baxter team who won the Royal Navy schools sevens.
He played for West of Scotland in season 2008–09.[2]
He was drafted to Melrose in season 2009–10.[3] He was drafted to Dundee HSFP the following season.[4] He was drafted to Stirling County for 2011-12[5] and 2013–14 season.[6]
Drafted for the Hawks in 2014[7] and 2016,[8] Horne was again drafted to Glasgow Hawks in the Scottish Premiership for the 2017–18 season.[9]
Professional career
[edit]He made his debut for Glasgow Warriors as a replacement in the Celtic League match against Ulster in March 2009, his first start following the same month against Munster at Firhill, and he signed a full-time contract in the summer.[10] He is Glasgow Warrior No. 172.
Horne was a near-permanent fixture in the Glasgow Warriors squad that won the 2014–15 Pro12 title.[11] He was named in the Pro12 Dream Team at the end of the 2014/15 season. He signed a new 3-year contract in 2017, taking him to the end of the 2019/20 season.
International career
[edit]Later in 2007, he played for Scotland in the Home Unions' under-18 festival in Gloucestershire, and in 2008 he played international rugby at both under-19 and under-20 levels. He was in the Scotland team who beat Italy in the under-19 international in February at Parabagio, near Milan, and he then played for the national under-20 squad in all five matches in the IRB Junior World Championship in Wales in June, starting in three of the games. He moved from Howe of Fife to West of Scotland for season 2008–09 and signed up with Glasgow Warriors a year later.
He scored all of Scotland's points with six penalty goals in the 18–17 win against Wales in the 2009 Six Nations Under-20 Championship match at McDiarmid Park, Perth, in February. His tally was a Scottish record in the championship, and he added a penalty goal in each of the subsequent matches against France and Italy. However, that tally of 24 points was passed by Robbie McGowan later in the championship with 27.
Peter took his under-20-year's tally to 63 points when he scored 39 in starting in all five matches in the IRB Junior World Championship in Japan in June.
