Tim Swinson has signed a one-year deal with Saracens after having a change of heart about hanging up his boots, according to a report in The Offside Line.
The Scotland and Glasgow forward announced his retirement from rugby last month but Saracens have secured his services for their English Championship campaign.
The report says Swinson will initially split his time between his parents home in London and his current base in Glasgow, whilst combining rugby with studying for a law degree from Robert Gordon University.
He plans to carry on as Chair of Rugby Players Scotland, the association which represents the interests of Scotland's professional rugby players.
The 33-year-old earned 38 Scotland caps and was part of the Warriors squad that won the Pro12 title in 2015.
He arrived at Scotstoun from Newcastle Falcons in 2012 and played 136 times, also featuring in the 2015 World Cup.

Introducing the 6 rugby brothers you didn’t know about… including the other Wilkinson
Mark Wilkinson, brother of Jonny
He spent his three-year professional career between 2002 and 2005 at Newcastle Falcons, alongside his brother, Jonny, predominantly playing as a Centre.
Tom Cowan-Dickie, brother of Tom
A product of the Penzance & Newlyn RFC’s youth section, Tom initially developed his rugby through the club and at Mounts Bay School, as did his younger brother Luke. The 28-year-old, who also plays hooker, first joined the Cornish Pirates in 2010, and signed a new two-year deal in May 2020.
Callum Watson, brother of Anthony & Marcus
The scrum-half was plighted by injuries towards the end of his time with London Irish and subsequently was not offered a new contract at the club; joining Loughborough Students as a result. Very much in the shadow of brothers Anthony and Marcus at the moment.
Graham Hogg, brother of Stuart
Scotland fullback Stuart Hogg’s brother, Graham, has played for Scotland in the IRB Sevens World Series as well as representing his country at under-18, under-19 and under-20. A very talented player, his career did not take off in the same way as his younger brother due to a number of serious knee injuries.
Jerry Sexton, brother of Johnny
He is the younger brother of Ireland fly-half Johnny. Sexton represented Leinster Rugby at schoolboy level but did not make the professional academy. The lock then moved to France to play lower level rugby before joining Exeter Chiefs. Following further stints with London irish and Jersey Reds, Sexton joined South African Pro14 side Southern Kings on a three-year contract ahead of the 2019–20 season.
Will Johnson, brother of Martin
He is perhaps best known for being Martin's younger brother, but yet played over 200 times for Leicester and gained a number of caps for England 'A'. A good club man, known for technique and work rate.
