Bulls lock in another youngster

CONTRACT NEWS: Bulls scrumhalf, Keagan Johannes, has committed to extend his stay at Loftus Versfeld by re-signing until 2026.

The 22-year-old scrumhalf has had a good start to his career at the Bulls since making his senior debut in 2021 and remains a key figure for the Pretoria-based side for the upcoming years.

“We are excited to have extended Keagan Johannes’ contract at the Bulls for another four years,” said Bulls Director of Rugby, Jake White.

“Keagan is certainly a big part of our plans going forward.

“At his young age, he has proven himself as a quality player with so much more to give in years to come. We are looking forward to seeing him contribute further and grow into the exceptional player we know he will become.”

Johannes’ contract extension comes on the back of renewals by veteran flyhalf, Morné Steyn, who has extended his stay until June 2023 as well as Springbok loose forward Elrigh Louw, who has committed to the Bulls until 2027.
