Young guns sign on dotted line for Lions
NEWS: A few more players have signed on the dotted line for the Lions.
On Thursday, the franchise revealed that young playmaker Bronson Mills and outside back Kelly Mpeku “have officially signed senior Lions contracts until 2026”.
Both players are King Edward VII School old boys and they have produced some eye-catching performances with the opportunities they’ve got so far.
Those signings follow Monday’s news on Asenathi Ntlabakanye.
The big prop extended his contract with the Johannesburg-based franchise following speculation over his future.
The tighthead prop was reportedly on the radar of French giants Toulouse who were willing to buy him out of his contract that expired in 2026, but the 25-year-old has put pen to paper that will see him ply his trade at Ellis Park until at least 2028.
