Bulls reveal reason behind Everitt's appointment

UPDATE: The Bulls confirmed the appointment of the experienced coach Sean Everitt on a short-term deal.

He joins the franchise to form part of the setup that will help steer the Bulls through the 2023 edition of South Africa’s premier rugby competition, the Currie Cup.

Everitt’s contract will run from mid-February until the conclusion of the 2023 Currie Cup competition.

The 53-year-old brings with him extensive experience across various tournaments.

Everitt was axed by the Sharks in November following a humiliating 0-35 defeat to Cardiff at Kings Park in the United Rugby Championship (URC).

Blue Bulls Company Chief Executive Officer, Edgar Rathbone said that Everitt is a proven winner, with a track record that speaks for itself.

“We are always looking to have the best rugby minds come onboard, to help us advance the objectives of our franchise,” Rathbone said.

“Sean brings with him, a lot of rugby IP and presents us with the opportunity to have an outside perspective. He has been impressive throughout his career, growing rugby champions that have gone on to entertain the rugby community for many seasons.

"His appointment is also our way of reinforcing our commitment to the Currie Cup and how well we want to continue doing in this competition.”

“We are delighted to welcome Sean to Loftus and do hope that he will enjoy his time with us, and we are confident that the team he joins will collectively come together to bring more domestic success” Rathbone concluded.
