Bulls captain Ruan Nortje has joined several of his team-mates by signing on for an additional three years with the Pretoria-based rugby union.
The tall lock forward will continue to play for the Bulls until 2027, with the likes of David Kriel, Elrigh Louw, Nizaam Carr, Ruan Vermaak, Johan Grobbelaar and Embrose Papier among others, who also recently all signed new deals.
Nortje said on Wednesday that Loftus Versfeld and the Bulls franchise had given him purpose as he looked to the exciting years ahead.
Exciting times at BullsThe decision was easy for me. I still feel as though I have a purpose at the club and I am happy to be a part of such an awesome group of players and seasoned coaching staff, said Nortje.
My biggest highlight will always be playing in front of a packed Loftus. It has always been a special place for me and the crowd has always been a big motivation whenever we run out. It is exciting to think that I get to experience that over the next couple of seasons still.
