[1] A serious knee injury disrupted his season, and he returned to Glasgow in 2012 to join the Warriors on loan[2] with the move being made permanent in 2013.

[5][6] Bennett was named in Vern Cotter's first ever squad for Scotland's 2014 summer tour, but failed to play in any of the four games.

He also had a potentially decisive try against Wales controversially disallowed, after team-mate Sam Hidalgo-Clyne was judged to have knocked-on when fouled near the try line.

After recovering from an injury which ruled him out of the run-in to Glasgow Warriors' 2014–15 Pro12 title triumph, Bennett was selected in Scotland's 31-man squad for the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

He represented Great Britain at the 2016 Summer Olympics where the team won silver after losing the gold medal match to Fiji.
