Bulls centre Dries Swanepoel will be joining the Cheetahs on a two-year contract.

Swanepoel had a small taste of the Pro14 last season when he joined Munster in April on a short-term loan as cover for injuries at the Irish Province.

In the same way as Grey College schoolmates and Cheetah stalwarts, Francois Venter and William Small-Smith, Swanepoel joined the Blue Bulls after matric. He played for their Under-19 team in 2012.

He received a call-up to the SA U20 side for the 2013 Junior World Championship and scored five tries in 14 appearances for the Blue Bulls U21 side.

He made his Currie Cup debut for the Blue Bulls in 2014 and represented the side in their Vodacom Cup, Currie Cup and Super Rugby campaigns.
