Darcy Graham (born 21 June 1997) is a Scottish professional rugby union player who plays as a wing for United Rugby Championship club Edinburgh and the Scotland national team.

Club career

Graham played for Hawick Rugby Club, playing in the Scottish Cup final aged only 17.[1]

Having been a Scottish Rugby Academy stage 2 player, in 2017 Graham was signed by Edinburgh on a two year professional contract.[2]

He made his debut in the European Challenge Cup against London Irish, scoring a try in a 50-20 win.[3]

International career

He has represented Scotland under 18s, Scotland under 20s and Scotland 7s. In August 2017 Gregor Townsend called Graham up to the extended Scotland national team training squad.[4]

In October 2018 Graham was called up again to the training squad and was then promoted to the main squad. He earned his first cap off the bench against Wales in November 2018.[5] His first international try came in the 2019 Six Nations match against Wales at Murrayfield,[6] and he subsequently scored two tries against England in the Calcutta Cup.[7]

Graham was part of Scotland's squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.[8] In 2023 Graham was selected in the 33 player squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.[9]

Graham scored four tries in Scotland's 2024 autumn nations series fixture against Fiji as they went on to win 57-17, a game in which he also won player of the match. During the game, he had briefly become Scotland's joint all time leading try-scorer before Duhan van der Merwe pulled ahead again before the final whistle.[10] Graham scored on his next appearance for Scotland against Portugal, to draw level with Duhan van der Merwe once more as Scotland's leading try scorer.
