Back-row Connor Boyle has signed a one-year contract extension to stay with Edinburgh next season after battling back from a serious knee injury.
The 26-year-old made his return in December after more than a year out.
Boyle, who has made 49 appearances for his hometown club, said:
"This club means everything to me – it always has," Boyle said.
"The last year and a bit has been the hardest of my career but I never once thought about giving up.
"I worked as hard as I've ever worked to get back out on that pitch, and I feel like I'm getting back to my best. There's still so much I want to give."
Head coach Sean Everitt added: "What Connor has shown over the past 12 months is the kind of character that defines this group.
"Coming back from a long-term injury of that nature takes real mental strength, and he's done it the right way – quietly, diligently, without fuss.
"He's an Edinburgh man, born and bred, and that matters. He understands what this club means to the supporters and what it means to wear this jersey."
