EDINBURGH’S team is complete after the Monarchs confirmed the return to Armadale of Lasse Fredriksen.
It will be the Norwegian’s third term with the Monarchs and he joins Josh Pickering, Justin Sedgmen, Kye Thomson, Paco Castagna, Connor Coles and Max James in the starting line-up. Fredriksen said: “I am delighted to be back and I can't wait for the season to start. I had to wait a little bit for everything to be confirmed while the rules were sorted out, then a few other things sorted out, but Edinburgh was the only place I wanted to be in 2024 so I am glad it is all confirmed. “I feel like we have the core with Josh (Pickering), Kye (Thomson), Paco (Castagna) and myself that have been here the last few years, then I know Justin (Sedgmen) from when he guested for us a few times last year and he is a good guy. “I don't really know the new guys, but I am sure they will fit in well and we'll all get together before the season starts to get to know each other and it will be another fun year.”
