That number will enter double figures on Thursday evening but in an unfamiliar position, as Hidalgo-Clyne starts on the right wing for Edinburgh's trip to face Newport Gwent Dragons.
He enjoyed a brief cameo on the wing last time out against Benetton Treviso and, as Edinburgh seek a late assault on a top-half finish, he is happy to play anywhere.
"Alan (Solomons) has a lot of trust in me, which is nice," he told the Edinburgh Evening News.
"I want to show my talent and I feel my skills are transportable. Playing sevens has helped my running game. Playing full-back in age grade as well has helped.
"It is slightly different from catching, kicking and running the game but I played Edinburgh age-group stuff at stand-off before being moved to full back for an international tournament.
"I'd play anywhere for Edinburgh. It is another opportunity to get on the pitch at 20 years old, which is good. I've not played a huge amount of rugby this year."
