Scotland international Ben Muncaster signs new two-year Edinburgh deal

Scotland international Ben Muncaster has signed a new two-year deal with Edinburgh.

The 23-year-old back row has scored five tries in six club appearances this season and made his international debut against Portugal during the Autumn Nations Series.

“I’m incredibly proud to re-sign with Edinburgh,” Muncaster said. “It was a no-brainer.

“This is my hometown club, and I’m loving playing my rugby here under Sean Everitt. The team is playing some exciting rugby, and I’m really enjoying my own game as well.

“I’m excited for the future. There is plenty of room for growth and we’re moving in the right direction as a squad.”

Head coach Everitt added: “Ben is a hugely important player for this club, and we’re delighted that he has committed his future to Edinburgh.

“He’s a powerful ball-carrier, a strong defender, and a real competitor. Securing the services of one of Scotland’s best young back-rowers is a major boost for the club.”
