Simon Berghan is the latest player to commit his future to Edinburgh after the prop put pen to paper on a two-year contract, keeping him in the Scottish capital until at least 2021.

Capped 17 times for Scotland, 28-year-old Berghan started at tighthead prop in last weekend’s Guinness Six Nations encounter against France.

On extending his stay at the club, Berghan, said: “I’m delighted to be extending my time with Edinburgh and I’m looking forward to contributing to the club going forward.

“I’m excited to be a part of this team and I believe there is still more to come from this great group of players.”

Coach Richard Cockerill added: “Simon is an integral part of the squad and has been a consistent performer for both club and country for a number of seasons.

“He brings a hard edge and strong level of physicality to this team, so we’re delighted that he’ll continue to represent this club in the years to come.”

The New Zealand-born, 18st, 6’3 prop joined Edinburgh from Canterbury-based Crusader Knights – the development squad of the Super Rugby side – in 2014 and immediately earned a reputation for his dominant scrummaging and physicality in the loose.

After solidifying his place in the capital side’s front row, Berghan was rewarded for his league form when he was named in the Scotland squad for the first time ahead of the 2017 Six Nations – a campaign in which he came off the bench in three Test games.

Berghan made his 50th Edinburgh appearance in the 2018/19 PRO14 season opener against Ospreys, while the front row scored his first try for the club in last month’s bonus-point win over Southern Kings at Murrayfield.

The prop has so far made 62 appearances for Edinburgh, while his selection against France – alongside Edinburgh front-row teammates Stuart McInally and Allan Dell – was his ninth start for Scotland in 17 matches played.

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.
