Scotland back-row Liam McConnell has been rewarded for his "exceptional" form with a new two-year contract at Edinburgh.
The 21-year-old Edinburgh academy graduate has impressed this season and made his Scotland debut in the win over the USA last month.
"Liam's form at the start of this season has been nothing short of exceptional," said Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt.
"He has played with a maturity well beyond his years. He has a very special future ahead of him, both for Edinburgh and for Scotland. He is exactly the type of player we want in our squad.
"A local lad who understands what this club means and has the drive to become a legend here."
McConnell is "incredibly proud" to extend his stay at his hometown club until June 2028.
"It was always the dream. There is something incredibly special about pulling on this jersey - you aren't just playing for a club, you're representing your home," he added.
"To be part of this young crop of Scottish players coming through together is brilliant."
