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

Professional career

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]

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]
