🌟 Rugby fans, here’s a shocker! Riley Higgins, a talented centre with Kiwi roots and a grandmother from Wales, has made a surprising move by signing with Edinburgh! At just 22, Higgins was eyed as a promising option for the future of Welsh rugby. However, his Ayrshire-born granny has guided him towards Scotland! 🇳🇿👉🏴
This highly-rated player, who showcased his flair in Super Rugby with the Hurricanes, had plenty of options, including offers from English, Japanese, and other Super Rugby teams! Yet, Higgins chose Edinburgh, signing a three-year deal, giving a strong hint of his international ambitions. Gregor Townsend and the Scottish team might have a new star in the making! 💫🏉
Higgins has dazzled in NZ, keeping even All Blacks out of the Hurricanes’ starting lineup. Now, his next challenge is the United Rugby Championship. Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt is thrilled, describing him as a dynamic player who rejected higher offers for a chance to shine in Scotland.
Riley says he’s eager to “get stuck in with Edinburgh” and promises fans an exciting style of play and relentless effort. “Fans can expect a hard-working player who will never give up,” he declared. We can’t wait to see his skills light up the Scottish pitch!
