Duhan van der Merwe Extends Contract with Edinburgh for Two Years

Duhan van der Merwe has committed to a two-year contract extension with Edinburgh, citing his “connection to the club and our supporters” as a primary reason for declining other offers. The wing, who represents Scotland and the British and Irish Lions, has recorded 45 tries over his two stints with Edinburgh and is just two matches away from achieving 100 appearances for the club. Edinburgh characterized the retention of the 29-year-old, Scotland’s leading Test scorer, as a “major coup.” Head coach Sean Everitt stated: “Retaining a player of Duhan’s calibre is a testament to the club’s ambition as well as the environment we’ve created.”
