Scrum half Nathan Fowles, who joined Edinburgh on loan in February until the end of the season, has signed with the club until May 2016 while lock Alex Toolis has committed to the club for a further season.
Brought in from Sale Sharks to cover injury and RBS 6 Nations duty challenges, Fowles made his debut off the bench against Cardiff on 1 March and his first start came against Munster earlier this month.
Fowles said: "I've really enjoyed my time here so far, they're a good bunch of lads, great backroom staff and Edinburgh's an ambitious club. We've seen that in the last few weeks, going from the quarter-final through to a first European final for the club, which is massive and I'm excited to be part of it."
Brisbane-born Toolis, who along with twin brother Ben, signed Academy contracts with Edinburgh in summer 2013 and had graduated to the full-time pro ranks by the end of that season, is delighted to extend his stay.
"I'm back in Edinburgh, training hard and looking forward to taking this opportunity with both hands," he said."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
