Odd rumour I thought as he is still under contract at Bordeaux. Another year to go at least.
http://www.planetrugby.com/news/hickey- ... C2%A8gles/This says two years, which would cover 16/17 and 17/18, which lines up with us signing him for next season.
In my best French *ahem* Google Translate:
This morning the Midi Olympique was a possible departure of Simon Hickey for Edinburgh. Southwest confirms this rumor. According to their information, despite an offer of extension of the UBB, the opening half of New Zealand, would have accepted a superior offer from Scotland. Counting on Matthieu Jalibert and Ben Volavola for next season, the club would have decided not to outbid.
Been searching for Scottish ancestry, no sign so far but would be a strange punt on a 5 year project player - he's Kiwi so there's a fair chance of a tartan granny...
