Transfer News: Scotland’s most capped player one of seven to leave Edinburgh

Edinburgh have confirmed that seven members of the squad, including Ross Ford, will leave the PRO14 club at the end of the 2018/19 season.

Scotland’s most capped player, Ford – who has so far made 197 appearance for the capital side – leads the list following an 11-year career at the club.

Fellow internationalist and club centurion Tom Brown – who made his Edinburgh debut in 2010 and has since made 118 appearances – will also move on at the end of the current campaign.

Joining the pair in departing are scrum-half Sean Kennedy – an Edinburgh player since 2011, with 66 appearances to his name – and Scotland back-row Luke Hamilton.
