Scotland prop Pierre Schoeman has signed a new contract with Edinburgh until 2028. <\/b><\/p>\n
The loose-head, 30, has made over a century of appearances since joining the capital club in 2018 and has cemented himself in Gregor Townsend’s Scotland side after making his debut in 2021.<\/p>\n
He now has 37 caps for his adopted country, having qualified on residency grounds, and is widely expected to receive a call-up to the British & Irish Lions next summer.<\/p>\n
Schoeman joins fellow Scotland international Duhan van der Merwe in signing a new deal at Edinburgh amid interest from abroad.<\/p>\n
“I’m truly honoured to be staying for at least another three years,” South Africa-born Schoeman told club media.<\/p>\n
“My wife Charissa and I have loved every minute of our time here in Scotland and this is home for us now. <\/p>\n
“Our life is here \u2013 it was an easy decision to re-sign with a club that means so much to me. There were other clubs interested, but I have unfinished business here.<\/p>\n
“I look around the changing room and there is so much talent. We’re a family here and I genuinely couldn’t be happier to have re-signed.”<\/p>\n
Head coach Sean Everitt hailed the retention of “fan favourite” Schoeman, describing it as “brilliant news”. <\/p>\n
He added: “He’s developed into a world-class prop and is a brilliant example for all our younger players because Pierre gives nothing less than 100% – he is fully committed to making himself and the others around him better every day.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
