Career

At the start of the 2014–15 season Braid signed an initial 3-month contract with Glasgow Warriors. This contract was extended although he was sent to London Scottish in December 2014 on loan with an agreement that he could return for cover during the 2015 Six Nations tournament. However, at the end of the Six Nations Glasgow Warriors announced that Braid would stay with the Pro 12 club until the end of the season.[citation needed]
