Edinburgh's Potential Signing of Scotland Hooker Dylan Richardson

Edinburgh's coach reveals ongoing talks to sign Scotland hooker Dylan Richardson.

**Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt has disclosed that the club is endeavoring to sign Scotland hooker Dylan Richardson. The 26-year-old, who holds six caps, has spent his entire club career with Sharks in South Africa and can play in the back row. Reports emerged earlier this week about the possible move, and after Edinburgh's United Rugby Championship win over Dragons on Friday, Everitt stated, 'We're still in talks.' He also mentioned that Richardson has been on their radar since he was 18 years old when Everitt was coaching him in Durban. 'We've tried for a number of years to bring him to Scotland. I think his versatility is beneficial for us. But, as I say, he's a Durban boy and has two years left on his contract. So, it's a long shot - but not impossible.'
