Ben Healy one of 3 fly-halves locked down by Edinburgh in one swoop

Edinburgh have acted decisively to shore up depth at fly-half, revealing contract deals for three stand-offs in the space of three hours on Thursday afternoon.

Scotland international Ben Healy, homegrown talent Cammy Scott and former Glasgow Warrior Ross Thompson are all now confirmed for the 2025/26 campaign.

Healy was the first to be revealed, putting pen to paper on a one-year extension. The 25-year-old has been a mainstay since arriving from Munster last summer. He’s featured in all 23 matches in his debut season and amassing 218 points.

Despite a recent knee injury Healy has returned to fitness in time for a pivotal run-in with Edinburgh preparing for a Challenge Cup quarter-final against Vodacom Bulls this weekend.

“I’ve loved my time at Edinburgh Rugby so far and I’m really happy to extend my stay for another year,” said Healy. “I feel like I’ve developed since joining from Munster and still have a lot more to give.”

Cammy Scott has also extended. The 22-year-old came through the club’s academy and featured regularly off the bench this season, including in wins over Munster, Dragons and the Emirates Lions in the Challenge Cup Round of 16.

A former Scotland U20 cap, Scott made his professional debut in 2022 and continues to impress with his progression.

“This is my home and representing this club means everything to me,” said Scott. “The opportunities I’ve been given have been invaluable and I’m determined to keep pushing forward.”

Ross Thompson was also confirmed a two year extension on his contract. The 25-year-old Edinburgh-born fly-half has made 20 appearances, including 16 starts, in his debut season after joining from Glasgow Warriors, earning a Player of the Month nomination for March following a previous win in October.

“I feel like I’m growing in confidence with every game I play, and the support from the fans and the team has been incredible,” said Thompson. “To achieve something special with this club, in my hometown, would mean the world to me. I played all my school rugby in Edinburgh, so to be back and contributing to the team’s success is a dream come true.”

This triple move comes as part of a wider squad reshaping. The capital side also confirmed that Scotland internationals Dave Cherry and Ali Price will leave the club at the end of the season to pursue opportunities abroad.

Both players are out of contract this summer.

Cherry, 34, joined Edinburgh in 2018 and has made over 100 appearances. He reached his century milestone in December’s 1872 Cup win over Glasgow at a packed Scottish Gas Murrayfield.

Price, 31, signed from Glasgow in November and has featured 34 times in his short stint in the capital.

Head Coach Sean Everitt welcomed the fly-half announcements.
