Former Fiji 7s rep and Olympic Gold medalist Viliame Mata has extended his contract with Edinburgh.
Mata has been a key player for Edinburgh, and was nominated for European Rugby's Player of the Year award in 2019.
Mata is the latest of Edinburgh's back-row to sign a new deal, after Jamie Ritchie and Hamish Watson.

Mata says Edinburgh is heading to a good stage right now and thinks they are building well as a team.
Coach Richard Cockerill says Mata brings an "X-factor" to the side and is a devastating, powerful runner in broken field and from the back of the scrum.
