Fagerson, a product of the BT Sport Scottish Rugby Academy, has received the Sir Willie Purves quaich from Friends of Scottish Rugby as Young Scottish Player of the 2017/18 season.

The 19-year-old follows in the footsteps of the likes of Jonny Gray, Finn Russell and Mark Bennett in collecting the prize.
