Dylan Richardson

Versatility is at the heart of what Dylan Richardson offers Edinburgh Rugby, a forward equally comfortable at flanker and hooker. Born on 15 January 1999, the Scotland international built his reputation on a high work rate, physical edge at the breakdown and a strong carrying game, the kind of all-action profile that makes a back-rower or front-rower valuable across a long season. His ability to cover multiple positions in the forward pack gives his coaches genuine selection flexibility, while his defensive contribution and presence in contact make him a dependable asset. Having earned international recognition with Scotland, Richardson has continued to feature in the demanding environment of professional rugby, where his adaptability is an asset few forwards can match. For Edinburgh he provides honest graft, set-piece options and the security of a forward who can fill more than one role, traits that underline his standing in the squad and his value to the Scottish game.
