Edinburgh have backed out of signing former Fiji 7s captain Kalione Nasoko after he failed his medical.
In a statement Edinburgh said Nasoko was due to join the squad next month but following additional medical tests from both the club’s and Fiji’s medical staff it has been confirmed that the player will be returned to the care of the Fiji Sevens team at this time.
It said Nasoko had a pre‑existing injury.
Edinburgh says this is the best course of action in relation to the player’s overall well‑being heading into next season and beyond.
