Edinburgh Signs Teen Prop Ollie Blyth-Lafferty to First Pro Contract After Champions Cup Breakthrough

Overview

• The 19-year-old agreed his first senior deal this week following an impressive first start in the Champions Cup win over Toulon.
• Head coach Sean Everitt praised his potential on a long-term deal and stressed room for growth in physical and technical areas.
• Blyth-Lafferty said a Scotland cap is now his goal, acknowledging the development still needed to reach international level.
• His rise runs through Boroughmuir, Edinburgh’s FOSROC Contracted Academy, senior minutes with Currie Chieftains, and the Futures XV.
• His age-grade journey featured Scotland U18 duty, an eligibility ruling that delayed an initial U20 outing, and a later U20 start alongside brother Jerry against Samoa.
