Former Glasgow Warriors captain Alastair Kellock would replace him as managing director of the Glasgow club. Bombrys said of his time at the Warriors: "Glasgow Warriors is such a special club. I’ve been privileged to play my part over the past 10 years, working with so many talented staff, coaches and players to see the club grow into one of the top clubs in Europe."
