Edinburgh sign Glasgow fly-half Thompson on one-year deal

Edinburgh have signed Glasgow Warriors and Scotland fly-half Ross Thompson on a one-year deal.

The 25-year-old will make the move down the M8 this summer, and will compete for the number 10 jersey with Ben Healy and Cammy Scott.

Thompson spent four seasons with Glasgow, during which time he earned three Scotland caps.

"I’m absolutely delighted to be joining Edinburgh next season," Thompson said. "I’m very grateful to Glasgow Warriors for the opportunities that I’ve had which have allowed me to develop as a player.

"It’s clear to see the potential that the squad has and I’m excited about contributing towards that. The fact that I get to represent the city I grew up in makes the move extra special for me."

Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt, said: "We’re thrilled to confirm the signing of Ross. He’s a really smart player with a great understanding of the game. He’s a strong decision-maker and a real threat with the ball in hand.

"His signing adds real competition for places in the number 10 jersey, which will ultimately benefit the entire squad."
