Edinburgh confirm Cherry and Price departures

Scotland internationals Dave Cherry and Ali Price are to move on from Edinburgh at the end of the season.

The club say both players will “take up playing opportunities abroad” on the expiry of their contracts.

Hooker Cherry, 34, started every match in this year’s Six Nations, taking his tally of caps to 16.

Price, 31, has made 66 international appearances and the scrum-half played in all three Tests on the British & Irish Lions’ tour of South Africa in 2021.

His last outing for Scotland came against Fiji in November 2024.

Prior to his switch to Edinburgh in November 2023, Price spent nine years at Glasgow Warriors.

“Dave and Ali have both made significant contributions to Edinburgh Rugby and we thank them for their dedication and commitment,” said head coach Sean Everitt.

“Dave has given a lot during his time at the club, but it is a position we are well stocked with good young Scottish talent and, therefore, we have decided not to continue his deal, and wish him the very best in his next steps.

“Dave’s journey to becoming a centurion is a testament to his hard work and resilience, while Ali’s experience and leadership have been invaluable to the team.”
