The 21-year-old follows Grant Gilchrist and Matt Currie in signing a new deal and plans to add to his eight appearances so far.

After making the code switch from rugby league, the Sydney-born stand-off joined the club from the Sydney Roosters in October 2020 and is loving life in the capital city.

Savala told the club website: “It’s a special moment. This club means a lot to me. I’m so grateful to be in the position I am and to be part of such a competitive squad.

“I’m glad to have found my feet here. I love this place and being a part of the club. This is my home and I’m excited to see what the future holds in the Edinburgh jersey.

“This is everything I’ve ever wanted. To be able to stay at the club I love and to call it home is awesome.”
