Patrick ‘Paddy' Kelly joined up from French National B team, Le Parc. Educated at Merchiston Castle School, he captained the Edinburgh institute to the Brewin Dolphin Scottish Schools Cup final in 2012.
He occupied the starting inside centre berth for all five games of the 2015 Six Nations Championship, playing a key role in Scotland under-20's three victories against Wales, Italy and Ireland.
A product of Highland, he was selected for the World Rugby Under-20 Championship in Italy, and made starting appearances in four of the five games.
Kelly has been involved in the national set-up previously having attended a Scotland under-17s camp, and was selected for the Scotland under-19 match against Australia Schools last season, yet, unfortunately, could not play due to injury.
