Edinburgh Extend Head Coach Sean Everitt Through 2028

Scottish Rugby frames the move as a continuity play to accelerate the pathway for young Scottish players.

Overview

  • The club confirmed a two-year extension on January 14, keeping Everitt in charge until June 2028.
  • Performance director David Nucifora endorsed the deal, citing alignment on long-term foundations and player development.
  • Edinburgh report 27 Scottish debuts under Everitt, including 13 academy graduates, with increased game time for young prospects this season.
  • Results show modest progress and inconsistency: play-offs last season, a Challenge Cup semi-final in 2024/25, second in their Champions Cup pool, and 10th in the URC.
  • Reaction has been mixed, with some fans and commentators, including The Times, calling the extension a cautious or easy option by the SRU.
