EDINBURGH RUGBY have completed the signing of Scotland Under-20 international Darcy Graham on a two-year deal.

The wing from Hawick represents his hometown club in the BT Premiership and will join the capital club on his first pro contract in the summer. 

Graham has started both of his country's Under-20 Six Nations matches so far this year against Ireland and France and has scored two tries in eight caps for the national team. 

"I’m absolutely delighted to have signed my first pro contract with Edinburgh Rugby," said the 19-year-old.

"It’s a young and exciting squad and I’m looking forward to being a part of the club.

“I know a few of the boys from playing with them at under-20 level and that helped in making my decision. They speak highly of the club and it seems like there’s a good buzz around the current group.

“Coming up through the [BT Sport Scottish Rugby] Academy really helped me develop as a player, both mentally and physically.

“I’m fully aware the professional environment will be a big step-up but I’m excited to get involved and challenge myself to keep learning from the coaches and players around me.” 

Acting Head Coach Duncan Hodge added: “Darcy is one of the most exciting prospects in Scottish rugby and we’re delighted to have him join the club.

“He’s an extremely talented rugby player and a natural athlete. With the commitment and competitive drive he possesses, we’re sure he’ll thrive in a fully-professional environment.

“He’s a welcome addition to our back-division and we look forward to working with him next season.”
