Edinburgh flanker Hamish Watson and lock Ben Toolis have extended their contracts with the club.
Watson, 23, will stay with the club for two more years, while Toolis, 24, has put pen to paper for an additional 12 months with the PRO12 outfit.
Watson, who has made 24 appearances for Edinburgh since joining them in 2011, told the club’s official website: “It’s great to know, so early, that I’ll be with the club for the next two seasons.
“Last season my opportunities were a bit limited then I started the first game after the summer and got into a good run. These are really exciting times, going forward.”
Toolis, who was born in Brisbane but qualifies for Scotland through his mother, has played 14 games for Edinburgh after establishing himself this season.
He said: “Obviously things have happened a bit sooner than I expected and I’m really happy, it’s the right decision for me. Now I’m getting game time, Edinburgh are on the rise and I want to be part of it.”
