Scotland international scrum-half Henry Pyrgos has today committed his future to Edinburgh after putting pen-to-paper on a new two-year deal.
Pyrgos, 29, has made 18 appearances so far this season after joining the club from Glasgow Warriors in June 2018, and extends his stay in the capital until at least 2021.
On re-signing with the club, Pyrgos, said: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my first season at Edinburgh and I’m excited to sign for two more years.
“I really believe we have the ability to go and achieve success over the next few seasons. I’m looking forward to working hard to make that happen.”
Head coach Richard Cockerill, added: “Henry is a level headed, gutsy player whose leadership and playmaking abilities are integral to the way we play.
“He offers a great link between our forward pack and backline, so we’re delighted that he will continue to represent this club for the next two seasons.”
Pyrgos made his international debut for Scotland against New Zealand at Murrayfield in 2012, going on to claim a total of 27 caps.
