Bulls reveal reason behind Everitt's appointment
UPDATE: The Bulls confirmed the appointment of the experienced coach Sean Everitt on a short-term deal.
He joins the franchise to form part of the setup that will help steer the Bulls through the 2023 edition of South Africa’s premier rugby competition, the Currie Cup.
Everitt’s contract will run from mid-February until the conclusion of the 2023 Currie Cup competition.
The 53-year-old brings with him extensive experience across various tournaments.
Everitt was axed by the Sharks in November following a humiliating 0-35 defeat to Cardiff at Kings Park in the United Rugby Championship (URC).
