TRANSFER NEWS: The Bulls have bolstered their squad once again ahead of the 2023/2024 season.
On Saturday, the Pretoria franchise confirmed that Pumas duo Devon Williams (fullback) and Deon Slabbert (lock) will be joining them on loan.
Both players played integral roles in the Pumas’ Currie Cup-winning season in 2022 and they were in the starting line-up when they beat Griquas in the Final in Kimberley.
They were also prominent figures in the Pumas’ run to this year’s Currie Cup Final, which they lost against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.
