Callum Hunter-Hill

Second-row Callum Hunter-Hill rejoined Edinburgh Rugby ahead of the 2025/26 season on an initial two-year deal.

Born in Melrose and an East Lothian native, Hunter-Hill’s rugby career started at North Berwick RFC and continued through Stewart’s Melville College in Edinburgh, where he notably won the Brewin Dolphin Shield.

He played his club rugby at Stirling County, where he captained the side, and progressed through the Glasgow Warriors academy, making his professional debut in 2016.

A Macphail Scholarship recipient, Hunter-Hill went on to captain Scotland U20, earning 19 age-grade caps.

Hunter-Hill originally joined Edinburgh Rugby ahead of the 2017/18 season after a loan spell at London Scottish, making his debut as Edinburgh player #1240 away to the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.

He enjoyed a breakout 2018/19 campaign, featuring in 18 matches in all competitions, including home and away Champions Cup victories over Newcastle Falcons.

Hunter-Hill joined Saracens on loan ahead of the 2019/20 season, impressing with 25 appearances, before making the move permanent. He was instrumental in Saracens’ English Championship win in 2020-21, helping them return to the Premiership at the first time of asking.

Across five seasons at StoneX Stadium, Hunter-Hill made 81 appearances, including coming off the bench in their 2022/23 Premiership Final victory over Sale Sharks, before moving to Northampton Saints last season.

Though yet to earn a senior Scotland cap, Hunter-Hill has been involved in national training camps and was selected for the 2021 summer tour to face Georgia and Romania, a tour ultimately cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
