Edinburgh coach Alan Solomons has agreed a one-year extension to his contract.

Solomons, who will remain at Murrayfield until June 2017, has led Edinburgh to successive eighth-place finishes in the Guinness PRO12.

He led them to the final of last season's European Challenge Cup and secured the 1872 Cup for the first time in six years.

"While we have made good progress over the past two seasons, we still have some way to go and I am pleased to be able to continue to build on what we have achieved," Solomons said.

Scottish Rugby chief executive Mark Dodson said: "Alan is successfully building on the improved performances achieved by Edinburgh Rugby last season, which saw them reach the European Challenge Cup Final and secure the 1872 Cup.

"The club has made a positive start to the new season and we wanted to ensure Alan was able to continue to develop the vision he started in 2013.

"We are therefore very pleased he has committed to Edinburgh through to 2017."
