Bulls centre joins Sharks

TRANSFER NEWS: The Sharks have bolstered their midfield stocks.

The Durban-based side revealed that they have signed centre Marnus Potgieter from the Bulls.

The 21-year-old, who can also play on the wing, recently appeared for the Bulls in the Preparation Series and the Currie Cup, but has not featured in the Rainbow Cup.

Potgieter was also part of the Junior Springboks squad for the 2019 Under-20 World Championship.

The Bulls have a number of options in the midfield going forward. There is Cornal Hendricks, Marco Jansen van Vuren, Stedman Gans, Jay-Cee Nel and Diego Appollis.

Stravino Jacobs, who normally plays on the wing, is also an option.

The Pretoria side also signed former Lions centre Harold Vorster in May.

Springbok flyhalf Johan Goosen, who joins the Bulls in July, can also play in the midfield.
