Edinburgh announced that Irish winger Michael Allen will depart the club at the end of the season to embark on a career in the financial sector.
The 26-year-old joined the Scottish club from Ulster in 2015 and went on to make 31 appearances for the Pro12 side.
Allen has made the decision to make a drastic career change and hang up his boots.
“The decision to pursue a new career away from rugby was an extremely hard one to make and one that took a lot of thought and deliberation,” Allen said in a statement released by the club this evening.
“As a family, we have fallen in love with Edinburgh and see the place as a home-from-home, so we’re delighted to continue living in the city and I look forward to supporting the boys in the seasons to come.”

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
