The 26-year-old can operate either as a loose-head or a tight-head, offering versatility to Dave Walder’s front-row options for next term’s Premiership.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

McCallum spent the first part of the season at now-defunct Worcester, and is in his second spell at Edinburgh.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’ll play wherever I’m needed,” McCallum said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But I’d say I’m competent on both sides and I’m happy to play either. I just want to do what’s best for the team, and if that means playing loose-head, tight-head or anywhere else, I’ll put myself forward.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Head coach Dave Walder added: “He has Premiership experience with Worcester, so he knows what the league is about.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s had a taste of international rugby earlier in his career and he’s playing at a good level with Edinburgh.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
