Scotland scrum-half Henry Pyrgos has pledged his future to Edinburgh after signing a two-year extension to his Murrayfield deal.
The former Glasgow Warrior only agreed to a 12-month contract when he moved from Scotstoun last summer.
But after relishing the 18 appearances he has made so far, the 29-year-old has put pen to paper on an extension through to 2021.
Pyrgos said: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my first season at Edinburgh and I’m excited to sign for two more years.
“I really believe we have the ability to go and achieve success over the next few seasons. I’m looking forward to working hard to make that happen.”
Head coach Richard Cockerill added: “Henry is a level headed, gutsy player whose leadership and playmaking abilities are integral to the way we play.
“He offers a great link between our forward pack and backline, so we’re delighted he will continue to represent this club for the next two seasons.”
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
