Scotland international Ben Healy, homegrown talent Cammy Scott and former Glasgow Warrior Ross Thompson are all now confirmed for the 2025/26 campaign.

Healy was the first to be revealed, putting pen to paper on a one-year extension. The 25-year-old has been a mainstay since arriving from Munster last summer. He’s featured in all 23 matches in his debut season and amassing 218 points.

    Despite a recent knee injury Healy has returned to fitness in time for a pivotal run-in with Edinburgh preparing for a Challenge Cup quarter-final against Vodacom Bulls this weekend.

    “I’ve loved my time at Edinburgh Rugby so far and I’m really happy to extend my stay for another year,” said Healy. “I feel like I’ve developed since joining from Munster and still have a lot more to give.”

    Cammy Scott has also extended. The 22-year-old came through the club’s academy and featured regularly off the bench this season, including in wins over Munster, Dragons and the Emirates Lions in the Challenge Cup Round of 16.

    A former Scotland U20 cap, Scott made his professional debut in 2022 and continues to impress with his progression.

    “This is my home and representing this club means everything to me,” said Scott. “The opportunities I’ve been given have been invaluable and I’m determined to keep pushing forward.”

    Ross Thompson was also confirmed a two year extension on his contract. The 25-year-old Edinburgh-born fly-half has made 20 appearances, including 16 starts, in his debut season after joining from Glasgow Warriors, earning a Player of the Month nomination for March following a previous win in October.

    “I feel like I’m growing in confidence with every game I play, and the support from the fans and the team has been incredible,” said Thompson. “To achieve something special with this club, in my hometown, would mean the world to me. I played all my school rugby in Edinburgh, so to be back and contributing to the team’s success is a dream come true.”

    This triple move comes as part of a wider squad reshaping. The capital side also confirmed that Scotland internationals Dave Cherry and Ali Price will leave the club at the end of the season to pursue opportunities abroad.

    Both players are out of contract this summer.

    Cherry, 34, joined Edinburgh in 2018 and has made over 100 appearances. He reached his century milestone in December’s 1872 Cup win over Glasgow at a packed Scottish Gas Murrayfield.

    Price, 31, signed from Glasgow in November and has featured 34 times in his short stint in the capital.

    Head Coach Sean Everitt welcomed the fly-half announcements.

    Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

    My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
