Luke Crosbie Shines at Edinburgh 2022/23 Season Awards

Back-row Luke Crosbie stole the show at Edinburgh Rugby’s 22/23 Season Awards, scooping four prizes on the night, including the most coveted award of the evening, Scottish Building Society Player of the Season.

Crosbie has been in scintillating form throughout the past campaign, becoming the first-ever play to scoop back-to-back Scottish Building Society Player of the Month awards for October and November.

Crosbie’s quality was also recognised on the international stage, where he was handed his first Guinness Six Nations starts in wins against England at Twickenham, and Wales at BT Murrayfield.

Alongside claiming the top prize of the evening, Crosbie was also voted Breadalbane Players’ Player of the Season, as nominated by the Edinburgh Rugby senior squad.

Crosbie also lifted the only fan-voted award of the evening, when he was presented the Caullie Lug by the Edinburgh Rugby Fans Group, given to the player who has displayed the most commitment to the jersey. It’s the second time Crosbie has claimed the ‘Caullie Lug’ having been voted the winner in the 2020/21 season.

Finally, Crosbie scooped the BMW Peter Vardy Man of Steel award, a prize tallied throughout the season for the team’s best defender.

Patrick Harrison was named My Name’5 Doddie Pro Academy Player of the Year after a breakout season for the club, while Marshall Sykes picked up Uhuru Rum Young Player of the Season after impressing in the capital pack.

Elsewhere, stand-off Charlie Savala claimed the It’s Good 2 Give Most Improved Player award, having stepped up in the number 10 jersey this past season, as Henry Immelman picked up the Scottish Building Society Our Burgh Community Award for going above and beyond in community outreach.

Finally, there was a prize for departing club centurion Stuart McInally as his commitment and service to the club was recognised with the Breadalbane Leadership Award.
