Edinburgh have agreed deals which will bring rookie prop Ryan Grant and versatile back Nick De Luca to the club from Borders at the end of the season.
Both players are Scotland A internationals and have agreed two-year contracts, with 23-year-old De Luca returning to the club he served as an apprentice last year.
De Luca’s decision to return to Edinburgh was welcomed by backs coach Rob Moffat, who said: "I think his time at the Borders has been good for his development as his rugby is maturing and although he is still a young, developing player, he is capable of playing in Europe and the Magners League."
Grant has been serving in the Royal Signals but becomes a full-time professional, and said: "It is a positive move for me, to be able to play alongside some big names at Edinburgh such as Allister Hogg, and learn from Allan Jacobsen, so I am really looking forward to next season."
