Edinburgh wingย Ross McCannย has been a late addition to Gregor Townsendโsย Scotlandย squad for their Americas tour in July.
The 26-year-old has spent much of the season with the Great Britain Sevens team,ย but after their failure to qualify for the Olympics at the weekend at the repechage in Monaco, Townsend has taken advantage of McCannโs availability.
Though still uncapped, McCann was also called into the Scotland squad during theย Six Nationsย this year, before returning to the HSBC SVNS circuit, where GB finished eighth in the overall standings.
McCann committed to the 15-player format in May by signing a two-year deal with Edinburgh, and and could very well see himself capped this summer.
Scotland face Canada, the United States, Chile andย Uruguayย in July, which may provide Townsend with the opportunity to hand some new caps out.
โItโs a dream come true to sign a permanent deal withย Edinburghย Rugby,โย McCann said after signing for Edinburgh.
โIโve always wanted to play for my hometown club, and now I finally get the chance to do that.
โEdinburgh is home for me. I went to school here and rugby-wise, itโs where it all began for me. So to be able to sign here and pull on that Edinburgh jersey in front of my family and friends will be an incredible feeling. I canโt wait to get stuck in and show everyone what I can do.
โThereโs a real sense of pride in representing your hometown club and Iโm determined to give everything Iโve got for Edinburgh Rugby. Itโs a special place to play and Iโm excited to be a part of it for the next two years.โ
