DAMIEN Hoyland believes that Edinburgh are in the best shape he has seen on and off the field since making his debut in 2015, and as a result had no hesitation in signing a new contract.
The 28-year-old back-three player made his comeback from a four-month injury lay-off last weekend and is now poised to play in some of the team’s biggest games of the season, starting on Saturday when they welcome Wasps to the DAM Health Stadium in the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup. “This will be my ninth season at Edinburgh and it’s the most excited I’ve ever been in my rugby career,” the 28-year-old said yesterday after putting pen to paper on his new deal, the length of which has not been revealed.
