CHARLIE SHIEL has agreed terms on a 12-month contract extension with Edinburgh covering the 2025-26 season. The 27-year-old scrum-half will have completed nine-years with the capital club by the end of the campaign, and with Ali Price moving on in the summer, he will compete for game-time against current club co-captain Ben Vellacott as well as current academy prospects Hector Paterson and Conor McAlpine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m absolutely delighted to be extending my time with Edinburgh Rugby for another season,\u201d who has been named on the bench for tomorrow night\u2019s URC clash against Hollywoodbets Sharks at Hive Stadium.<\/a> \u201cThis club means so much to me, being my hometown team, and to be heading into my ninth season here is something I\u2019m incredibly proud of.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I\u2019ve become one of the more experienced guys in the squad, I\u2019ve really enjoyed taking on more of a leadership role and helping to drive standards. It\u2019s been great working alongside the younger nines like Hector Paterson and Conor McAlpine, and I get a real buzz out of sharing my experiences and helping them develop.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still feel I have so much to give when I get my opportunity on the pitch, and I\u2019m determined to play my part as we enter a crucial business end of the season, starting with Sharks this Friday night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shiel \u2013\u00a0 whose father Graham Shiel<\/strong> and grandfather Dougie Morgan<\/strong> both played for Scotland \u2013 has made a total of 69 appearances for Edinburgh since joining the club\u2019s academy ahead of the 2017-18 season, making his debut against Southern Kings in January 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharlie has developed his game and has the opportunity to step up into a leadership role with the departure of Ali Price,\u201d said Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt. \u201cHe is a dependable player who brings a consistent and professional attitude to his craft every single day.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis experience is invaluable, and he has really embraced his role in helping nurture the younger players coming through, particularly in the scrum-half position. It\u2019s brilliant to have secured Charlie for another year and we know he will continue to be a valuable asset to the squad both on and off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
