Bulls bolster their front row resources

TRANSFER NEWS: The Bulls have made a significant signing to bolster their front row resources.

The Bulls on Monday revealed that they have secured the services of prop Dylan Smith.

The Pretoria-based side confirmed that the 28-year-old front row forward would be joining the side on a three-year deal which will begin on July 1 until the end of June 2025.

Smith is a product of King Edward VII School in Johannesburg and played his junior rugby for the Golden Lions.

He went on to play in the Currie Cup competition for the Johannesburg-based side and also amassed over 50 appearances for the Lions in the Super Rugby competition.

Last year, the talented prop made a move overseas where he joined top French club Stade Francais as a medical joker in the Top 14.

Smith will return to South Africa where he will bolster the Bulls’ front row in their efforts to make a mark in the United Rugby Championship.

“To be able to secure the services of a quality front row forward like Dylan Smith is massive for us,” said Bulls director of rugby, Jake White.

“Dylan is arguably one of the most talented props in South Africa.

“We have no doubt that he will contribute massively to the Bulls’ ambitions of continuing to grow to become one of the most competitive sides globally.

“We look forward to welcoming him to Loftus Versfeld and seeing him in the blue jumper.”
