Hunter-Hill signs Edinburgh extension

Callum Hunter-Hill has become the latest Edinburgh lock to extend his contract.

The 29-year-old is now committed to the club until the summer of 2027-28 after signing a new one-year deal.

Hunter-Hill rejoined Edinburgh from Northampton Saints on a two-year contract last summer and has made 15 appearances for Sean Everitt's side the term.

"Coming back to Edinburgh has meant everything to me," he said.

"This club has always felt like home. I've really enjoyed the game-time this season and feel like I'm building nicely, but I'll be honest, I know I haven't hit the heights I'm capable of yet.

"That's a big part of why I wanted to stay. I feel like I've got a real contribution to make here, and I'm not done. The direction this club is moving in genuinely excites me."

Hunter-Hill joins fellow second-rowers Grant Gilchrist, Glen Young and Marshall Sykes in signing fresh terms.
