Edinburgh have rewarded forward Sean Cox with a new two-year deal after an impressive start to life at Muarrayfield.
Cox, 26, has played in seven of the club's 11 games this season since making the summer switch from Sale.
And having initially arrived on a 12-month deal Cox, who can play in the back row or at lock, has now committed to the club until 2014.
Cox, who follows Steven Turnbull, Stuart McInally and David Denton in signing a new contract, said: "It's a very exciting place to be at the moment. There are a lot of good ideas and talented young players who have also committed to the club.
Leader
"There's a clear statement of intent being made by signing players early. It's really exciting I'm delighted to be part of it but this is just the start. It's down to the players to deliver their part of the club's vision on the field."
Head coach Michael Bradley said he has been impressed with the way the former England Under-21s international had settled in at the club.
"Sean has been a very good professional in terms of his attitude, his training and work rate," he added.
"He's a good organiser, leader and communicator on the pitch and he's quite a physical player too so all of these attributes led us to the conclusion that he's a good fit for Edinburgh Rugby and we're delighted that he's signed for another two years.
"He's very important to the future of the club."
