Bulls sign Glasgow's South African utility forward

NEWS: The Bulls announced the return of utility forward Sintu Manjezi who signed on the dotted line until 2028.

The 29-year-old – who had a previous stint with the Bulls returns to the Pretoria-based side after a two-year stint with the Glasgow Warriors in Scotland.

“Coming back home was a definite easy decision, I have lots of good memories from my first stint at the club and now I look forward to working hard to create more,” Manjezi said.

He also added: “Being abroad was good, getting to experience different cultures, people and a way of life. Glasgow is a wonderful club and I enjoyed being challenged and learning in a different environment. The identity there was speed of play and mauling which I’ve added to my game.

“I hope I can use those learnings and others to help the team as we go into the new campaigns.”

Manjezi states that his return to the Bulls is made even easier with the side participating in both European-based competitions.

“I am looking forward to continuing to play in the United Rugby Championship and the Champions Cup because both leagues are considered to be the best club competitions in professional rugby.

“That has also made this move all the better because I have enjoyed both competitions, the quality of rugby in them and the calibre of players we get to play against and test our skills week in and week out. It will be good to get to do it once more with the daisy over my heart.”
