Another Bull crosses the Jukskei

TRANSFER NEWS: The Lions continue to bolster their side with another Bulls player.

The latest player to exit Loftus Versfeld is experienced hooker Jaco Visagie, who will link up with the Lions.

Visagie made his first-class debut in 2013's Vodacom Cup and went on to represent the franchise at all levels including U19, U21, Currie Cup and Super Rugby.

He earned his 50th cap for the Bulls against the Blues earlier this year.

Director of Rugby, Jake White, wished Visagie well on his journey: "Jaco has been a loyal servant and warrior for the #BullsFamily for ten years, and has given his best in that time.

"I wish him well as he embarks on this new chapter in his rugby career at the  Lions."

Visagie thanked the Bulls for backing him, “It’s been an amazing journey to say the least, filled with highs and lows, and I’m sincerely grateful for the opportunities that I have been granted at Loftus.

"I’d like to thank my teammates, the management, the staff and everybody else that’s contributed to my career thus far. I’m excited about the next step, and look forward to the journey ahead.”

Visagie's signing comes just a couple of days after Bulls captain Burger Odendaal opted to join the Johannesburg-based franchise.
