Centre Mosese Tuipulotu has signed a new two-year deal with Edinburgh until the summer of 2028. The 24-year-old suffered a knee injury that kept him out of action for the last 10 months but he returned to Sean Everitt's side in March."Representing this club means everything to me," Tuipulotu said. "Every time I pull on the Edinburgh jersey there's a genuine sense of pride – this is a special place and I never take that for granted."It's been a really challenging year.

Ten months is a long time to be on the sidelines and there were difficult moments along the way, but the support I've had from everyone here – the coaches, the medical team, the players and supporters – has been incredible. I can't thank the club enough for the way they've stuck by me and helped me get back to where I need to be."I feel great. I'm getting back to full fitness and really enjoying my rugby again.

But honestly, more than anything, I'm just excited about what's ahead. I still have so much I want to achieve here and I want to be a key part of this team pushing forward and competing at the very top. This is absolutely where I want to be."Head coach Everitt added: "Mosese has shown tremendous character this past year."Coming back from a serious knee injury is never easy, but the dedication and hard work he has put into his rehab and getting himself back onto that pitch has been there for everyone to see."
