Gloucester centre Scott confirms exit
By Peter Hanson
Scotland centre Matt Scott is to leave Gloucester and return to Edinburgh on a two-year deal at the end of the season.
The 27-year-old chalked up 74 appearances for his hometown club before departing for the Premiership ahead of the 2016-17 season.
Scott, who has 39 international caps, is now to return to the Scottish capital and believes he is coming back a more complete player.
"Having spoken with [Edinburgh boss] Richard Cockerill about what he has done so far at the club and his vision for the future, I have no doubt that it will be a fantastic environment moving forward," he told the club's official website.
"I can't wait to get back playing with some of my best mates and pushing to win trophies with my hometown club.
"I've had a great two years at Gloucester and believe I'm a far better player and person from my experiences in the Premiership."

Yet Ethan Blackadder was one of our best against the World Champion Springbok. When he came back to the Crusaders later in the season , he made a huge difference, ( a long with others like Codie Taylor), we nearly made the Play Off's. Ethan has plenty of rugby left in him. His family , Dad Todd Blackadder must be very [proud of him. Todd Blackadder was a 3 time champion captain of the Crusaders, '98, '99 and 2000.An icon in this area. Also twice captain of Canterbury , '97 and 2001 when we won the NPC and Ranfurly Shield winning captain in 2000.

Noah Lolesio is your sort of player and that worked OK, but only because his team is far more creative than Englands for example. The highly organized Irish attack was also another that didn't require much from the 10, but that is now changing with Prendergast who is in that league mold like the most new age 10's.
So it is in fact your two which would require even more change to make the most of than Marcus Smith.
