Edinburgh Northern Rugby Club will go into their East Division Two opener at Leith on 5 September boosted by significant recruitment.
Over the summer 20 new players pitched up at Inverleith Park and for the pre-season friendly against Queensferry, which resulted in a 46-7 win, Northern fielded 11 debutants.
Continuity on the field is provided by the re-appointment of Crebhan Hughes as captain. Vice captain is Lee Tennant.
Fresh from hanging up his boots Dominic Harrison takes up the role of president with Jason Thompson his deputy.
On the coaching front Jame McCann provides a lead with ex-players Tommy Horton and Michie McCall assisting.
