Signing spree: Bulls sign Boks and others for 2025/26 season

By @rugby365com
Tuesday 8 Jul 2025

NEWS: The Bulls have confirmed the signing of two Springbok locks, a Stormers scrumhalf, Cheetahs flank and the return of Springbok wing Kurt-Lee Arendse.

Starting with Arendse, the prolific wing will be returning to the Bulls following the Springboks’ final Rugby Championship match in late August.

Arendse had recently been on sabbatical while playing for the  Dynaboars in Japan’s League One.

The 29-year-old playmaker was in hot form at the weekend, scoring a long-range try for the Springboks on his Loftus Versfeld home ground.

Springbok locks Marvin Orie and Nico Janse van Rensburg both joined the Bulls at the beginning of July.

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 on a season-long deal that began 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.

Van Rensburg has penned a deal with the Bulls until June 2027.

He left Pretoria after four years at the club, joining Montpellier in France in 2016. Since then, he went on to amass a mammoth 174 caps for the French club.

He has loads of experience gained from the Top 14, Champions Cup, Super Rugby, Currie Cup, and Challenge Cup.

On Tuesday the Bulls also confirmed the signing of Stormers scrumhalf Paul de Wet and Cheetahs flanker Jeandre Rudolph.

Two Springboks, Handre Pollard and Jan Serfontein, have already joined the Bulls as part of their squad for the new season.
