Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt has revealed the club are trying to sign Scotland hooker Dylan Richardson.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 26-year-old, who has six caps, has spent his entire club career with Sharks in South Africa and can also play in the back row.<\/p>\n

After reports emerged earlier this week touting the possibility of a move, Everitt was asked how likely a deal is after Edinburgh’s United Rugby Championship win over Dragons on Friday.<\/p>\n

“We’re still in talks,” he said. “Dylan has been on our radar at Edinburgh since he was 18 years old – that’s when I was coaching him in Durban. <\/p>\n

“We’ve tried for a number of years to bring him to Scotland, so who knows?<\/p>\n

“I think the versatility is good for us. But, like I say, he’s a Durban boy, he’s got two years left on his contract, so yeah, it’s a far cry – but not impossible.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
