WP Nel signs new 3 year deal with Edinburgh

Edinburgh Rugby have confirmed that South African born prop WP Nel has signed a three-year deal that will see him stay at the club until at least May 2020.

Nel joined Edinburgh in 2012 on a three-year deal, which was subsequently extended and he has represented the club on 102 occasions. 

He has since been awarded 15 Scotland caps – including appearances in all the national side’s Rugby World Cup 2015 and 2016 6 Nations matches – scoring two tries in the process.

On penning a new deal with Edinburgh Rugby, Nel said: “I’m delighted to be staying at Edinburgh for another three years. It’s an awesome club and I’m looking forward to continuing to play here.

“These are exciting times for everyone involved and I feel that everything is moving in the right direction. It’s been great to see a lot of young talent coming through this season and hopefully I can help with their development in the coming years."
