Edinburgh ‘in talks’ to sign Scotland hooker Dylan Richardson

Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt has revealed the club are trying to sign Scotland hooker Dylan Richardson.

The 26-year-old, who has six caps, has spent his entire club career with Sharks in South Africa and can also play in the back row.

After reports emerged earlier this week touting the possibility of a move, Everitt was asked how likely a deal is after Edinburgh’s United Rugby Championship win over Dragons on Friday.

“We’re still in talks,” he said. “Dylan has been on our radar at Edinburgh since he was 18 years old – that’s when I was coaching him in Durban.

“We’ve tried for a number of years to bring him to Scotland, so who knows?

“I think the versatility is good for us. But, like I say, he’s a Durban boy, he’s got two years left on his contract, so yeah, it’s a far cry – but not impossible.”
