Another Springbok lock joins the Bulls
NEWS: The Bulls have confirmed the signing of Springbok lock Marvin Orie.
The 32-year-old Orie joins the Bulls on a short-term deal from French club Perpignan where he has been plying his trade since the 2023 World Cup and earned 29 caps in the last two seasons.
Orie arrived in Pretoria at the beginning of July on a season-long deal that begins with the Currie Cup.
The lock previously earned 10 caps for the Bulls from 2014-2016 before stints with the Lions (44), Ospreys (7), and the Stormers (42).
The 16-cap Orie played his last Test for the Springboks on October 1, 2023, against Tonga in Marseille and made his debut in 2018 against Wales in Cardiff.
Two Springboks, Handre Pollard and Jan Serfontein, have already joined the Bulls as part of their squad for the new season.
It is expected that Jeandre Rudolph, Dylan de Leeuw, and Nico Janse van Rensburg are also on their way.
