Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt has signed a two-year contract extension, saying he is “excited to see what we can achieve with this next generation of players.”

Now in his third season at the club, the new deal runs until the summer of 2028.

Edinburgh sit 10th in the United Rugby Championship table, having finished seventh last term and 10th in Everitt’s debut campaign.

They are currently second in their Champions Cup pool, with a visit to leaders Bath, who beat them in last season’s Challenge Cup semi-finals, coming up on Friday.

“I have loved the challenge of bringing through the next crop of young Scottish talent and seeing them grow in this environment,” said Everitt.

“I firmly believe that with patience and work, this team can truly inspire the city. Our motto of ‘local players becoming legends’ is something we live by, and I am excited to see what we can achieve with this next generation of Edinburgh players.”

The South African has given debuts to 27 Scottish players, with 13 of those coming through the club’s academy system.

“It was clear that we share a vision for building on the strong foundations Sean has laid to date,” added Scottish Rugby performance director David Nucifora.

“Scottish Rugby will continue to build strong alignment with Sean and Edinburgh Rugby so that the team can reach its full potential.”

Edinburgh are unbeaten at their Hive Stadium home in all competitions this season, although they did suffer a 21-3 loss to rivals Glasgow Warriors at Murrayfield on 27 December.
