The Vodacom Bulls have tied down Springbok hooker Johan Grobbelaar with a long-term contract.
Grobbelaar, who joined the Bulls in 2017, was due to come off contract next year but has now committed his future to the Pretoria-based club for another four seasons until 2030.
He has become a key figure for the Bulls and has established himself in the Springbok setup.
Bulls CEO Edgar Rathbone believes keeping Grobbelaar sends a strong message.
“Johan embodies everything we stand for at the Bulls. He’s a warrior on the field, a natural leader in the environment, and a loyal servant to this union who has consistently delivered at the highest level year after year.
“To have a player of his calibre and international pedigree commit his best years to Loftus until 2030 is a massive statement of intent for our franchise.
“We are thrilled that ‘Grobbies’ will continue to be a pillar of our pack as we pursue silverware in the years ahead.”

The club has also been linked with fellow Springbok Malcolm Marx, although those negotiations remain ongoing.
