Scotland international Stuart McInally has signed a new two-year contract with Edinburgh.

The Edinburgh hooker has made 110 appearance for his hometown team since joining in 2010.

McInally made the switch from the back-row to the front-row in 2013 and since then has secured his position as one of Edinburgh's most consistent players.

The 27-year-old, who scored two tries for Scotland against Samoa at the weekend, said: "I'm extremely pleased to be staying in Edinburgh.
