Edinburgh prop Paul Hill has signed a new two-year deal with the Scottish club. The England international, 31, joined from Northampton Saints in 2024 and has become a regular in the Edinburgh front row. He joins Grant Gilchrist and Mosese Tuipulotu in committing his future to the club, with academy products Hector Patterson, Jack Brown and Jerry Blyth-Lafferty also signing pro deals in recent weeks.

"Edinburgh feels like home now – and that's not something I say lightly," Hill said. "This club, this city, the way the squad is being built by Sean [Everitt] – everything about it sits right with me. I'm really happy playing my rugby here, and that happiness hopefully shows on the pitch.

"I'm aware that I'm one of the more experienced players in the group, and I take that responsibility seriously. Helping bring through the next generation of props is something I genuinely care about. "But I want to be clear, I'm still so hungry.

I want to win things with this club. The way we're building here and the ambition in this squad excites me, and I want to be right at the heart of it. "
