Fruean set for move to Edinburgh

RICHARD Cockerill is working to strengthen his Edinburgh squad for next season and is looking to do some of his shopping in the Premiership.

Cockerill takes over as head coach in the Scottish capital next season and looks set to complete a deal which will see Bath centre Robbie Fruean, left, join him north of the border. Former New Zealand U19 international Fruean, who has recovered from two open heart operations, joined up with Bath earlier in the season but Blindside understands that he travelled up to Edinburgh last Friday to have a medical ahead of a move from The Rec this summer.
