Jason Hill (born in Hereford, England) is a English born Scottish Club XV international rugby union player who plays for Glasgow Warriors at the Flanker or Number Eight positions.

Hill has represented Scotland at Under 18[1] and Under 20 level, and at Club XV level.[2]

He played for Stirling County[3] and most recently Heriots[4] before securing a professional contract.

The 2014–15 season was a triumph for Hill as he won the BT Premiership Player of the Season and the award for try of the season, the Brigadier Frank Coutts Memorial award.[5] Hill also secured Heriot's BT Premiership title with a last minute try over Melrose in the play-off final at Goldenacre.[6]

Called up for the Scotland Club XV international side which is made up of the best club players in the country, Hill was to score a vital try in the win over Ireland Club XV at Melrose. He was awarded the man of the match for his performance.[7]

Jason Hill signed for the Glasgow Warriors in 2015–16 after training with the Pro12 club from February to the end of the 2014–15 season.[8]

The one-year partnership contract signed allows Hill to play for Heriots when not playing for the Glasgow Warriors.

He is contracted to Glasgow Warriors until 2016.
