Edinburgh have signed Scottish-qualified centre Kienan Higgins on a two-month contract.

Higgins joins from New Zealand National Provincial Championship side Hawke's Bay.

With midfield trio Matt Currie, Mosese Tuipulotu and Charlie McCaig currently nursing injuries, the 25-year-old will provide cover and competition until March, when he is due to move to Major League Rugby in the United States.

Higgins, whose older brother Riley plays for Hurricanes in Super Rugby, said: "I am really excited to be joining Edinburgh.

"Having Scottish heritage, this is a proud moment for me and my family, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to test myself in a new environment.

"The northern hemisphere game offers a different set of challenges, and I've always wanted to try my hand at the style of rugby played in the URC and Europe.

"My goal is to hit the ground running, learn as much as I can from the quality players here, and add real value to the squad during my time in the city. I can't wait to get started."
