Scotland international lock Ben Toolis has signed a new two-year deal with Edinburgh Rugby.
The Australian-born second-row, who earned his sixth international cap against New Zealand on Saturday, said: "I'm really excited to be staying in Edinburgh.
"I strongly believe we have the right squad and management in place to create something special and I want to be a part of that."
Edinburgh head coach Richard Cockerill added: "Ben has been the engine in our forward pack all season, whilst his ability at the lineout is key for both club and country.
"We're delighted that he's chosen to commit his future to Edinburgh. We're building a strong culture here and Ben is a crucial component of that environment moving forward."
Toolis joined Edinburgh in 2013 and has made 76 appearances during his five seasons with the club.
The 25-year-old second-row, who made his Scotland debut against Italy in February 2015, has been ever-present in Edinburgh's first XV this season.
