Third SA lock joins Bordeaux

By Online Editors
Thursday 22 Jan 2015

South African lock Ben Venter revealed that he is set to join Top 14 side Bordeaux-Begles.


Venter will fill in for Adam Jaulhac, who is absent for three months after undergoing surgery on a herniated disc.


"I'm proud and happy to announce that I'm going to join Bordeaux-Begles," the 27-year-old Venter wrote on his Twitter account.


He will undergo a medical on Thursday.


Venter previously played for the Border Bulldogs (2010-2012) and Boland Cavaliers (2012-2013), before joining French lower league side Chambery where he played seven matches this season.


He will join up with three compatriots in Bordeaux - locks Berend Botha and Jandre Marais and scrumhalf Heini Adams.
