Edinburgh have signed Samoan centre Sasa Tofilau on a one-year contract.

He has been playing club rugby with Scottish National League Division 2 side Kirkcaldy since October.

"I'm really excited to be involved at the club and I'm grateful to the coaches for putting faith in me," Tofilau told the Edinburgh website.

"Hopefully, I can return the favour in the way I train and play.

Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons added: "We are delighted to welcome Sasa to the club.

"He is a talented young player who has represented Australia at under-20 level.

"I have no doubt he will make his mark at Edinburgh and look forward to working with him."
