Edinburgh have signed Scotland-qualified wing Malelili Satala from Leicester on a two-year contract.

The 20-year-old Tigers academy graduate has made five appearances for the English Premiership club this season.

Satala was born in the Scottish capital and is the son of former Fiji international Apolosi Satala, who played for Edinburgh in the early 2000s.

"I'm absolutely thrilled to be ing Edinburgh this summer," he said.

"It's an exciting new chapter and I'm really looking forward to the opportunities that lie ahead, both on and off the field.

"Making the move from Leicester to a city like Edinburgh is a big change, but one I'm embracing. I'm grateful for the chance to be part of such a proud club and can't wait to meet new people, immerse myself in the culture and get to work."

Edinburgh have also added Scotland Under-20 wing Finlay Doyle, who will the club's pro academy from Loughborough University on a one-year deal.
