Overview
- Edinburgh confirmed the one-year signing of stand-off James Grayson from Japan’s Mitsubishi Dynaboars.
- Head coach Sean Everitt said Grayson will challenge for the starting role at fly-half after a season without a settled option.
- Grayson is set to vie with Ross Thompson and Cammy Scott for the shirt, with Ben Healy leaving for Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle.
- The former England age-grade playmaker made close to 100 appearances for Northampton Saints and 48 for the Dynaboars, and he has kept the door open to England or Japan at Test level.
- The addition comes as part of a broader rebuild for next season that also brings in scrum-half Louie Chapman and centres Riley Higgins and Geordie Gwynn.
