Stormers lose promising duo to rival teams
TRANSFER NEWS: The Stormers have confirmed the departure of two more promising youngsters to rival teams.
Talented fullback David Kriel will join the Bulls while hooker Dan Jooste will be heading to Durban to join the Sharks.
The two players will join their new teams when their respective contracts are up at the end of October.
This latest news comes after the Stormers lost the services hooker Schalk Erasmus who will also be joining the Bulls later this year.
The loss of Kriel and Jooste is not the kind of news Stormers fans want to hear.
Jooste, 22, is a former South Africa Under-20 star who made his Super Rugby debut for the Stormers against the Lions in 2019.
Kriel, 21, is a versatile player who can play fullback and centre. He is also a formidable figure in the backline as he stands at 1.94m and weighs 94kg.
Earlier this month it was confirmed that Springbok fullback Warrick Gelant will be joining the Stormers.
