Bradbury, who is currently injured, was told to stay away from the club following the incident.

The 23-year-old had been given the captaincy by new head coach Richard Cockerill at the start of the season.

Cockerill has named lock forward Fraser McKenzie as Edinburgh’s new club captain with immediate effect.
