Pead, who began his professional career with the Lions in 2024, has decided to continue his rugby journey in the Western Cape.

During his time in Johannesburg, he established himself as a standout talent, earning his senior domestic debut in the Currie Cup against the Vodacom Bulls, followed by an international debut against the Newcastle Red Bulls.

Following an exceptional rise through the ranks, Pead was named the Junior Player of the Year in 2025.

His consistent, impressive performances at domestic level recently earned him a call-up to Rassie Erasmus’s Springbok alignment camp for the 2025/26 season.

Lions Rugby Company CEO- Rudolf Straeuli said: “Haashim has been a dedicated and exceptional talent since beginning his professional career with us in 2024.

“While we are sad to see him depart Johannesburg, we respect his decision to take on a new challenge with the Stormers.

“We thank him for his service to the Lions and wish him success in the next chapter of his career.”

The Stormers also have a loan agreement with former Bulls and Sharks scrumhalf Andre Warner, who currently plays for Major League Rugby outfit Seattle Seawolves, but has not been listed in the Stormers’ United Rugby Championship squad for the upcoming season.
