Edinburgh Rugby has confirmed that South African-born prop Pierre Schoeman has signed a contract extension, further solidifying his place within the team.
Known for his formidable presence in the front row, Schoeman has become a fan favorite since joining the club in 2018.
The experienced loosehead prop has made over 80 appearances for Edinburgh and continues to be a pivotal figure in their pack. His commitment to the club is a testament to the strong bond he has formed with the players, staff, and supporters.
Schoeman’s extension comes as no surprise given his influential role in the squad.
The 29-year-old has earned praise not only for his performances on the field but also for his leadership qualities and passion for the game.
Speaking about his new deal, Schoeman expressed his gratitude and excitement.
“This club is like a family to me. The connection I have with the fans and my teammates is something truly special, and I’m thrilled to continue my journey with Edinburgh Rugby.”
In addition to his contributions at the club level, Schoeman has made a significant impact on the international stage. Qualifying to represent Scotland through residency, he earned his first cap in 2021 and has since become a regular in the national squad.
Edinburgh Rugby head coach Mike Blair hailed the re-signing as a vital step for the team’s future.
“Pierre is a cornerstone of our pack and embodies the values of this club. His work ethic, skill set, and leadership make him an invaluable player. We’re delighted he’s committed his future to Edinburgh.”
