Nizaam Carr commits to Bulls until 2027, eyes future success and silverware

Springbok loose forward Nizaam Carr has put pen to paper on a new deal with the Bulls that will keep him at Loftus Versfeld until 2027.

"The Vodacom Bulls are more than just a rugby club; this has become my family. Ever since I joined in 2020, I felt welcomed by the coaches, the players and the fans. Everyone has been kind, and helpful and they have assisted my family in settling in and calling this city our home," said Carr, who is affectionaly known as Nemo by his fellow players and coaches.

Carr has made 54 franchise appearances for the Tshwane-based club on both sides of his spells in the capital. He says he looks ahead with fond highlights of his time at Loftus already in the memory bank.

"My highlight so far with this club has been playing in front of a full capacity crowd and getting the win over the Stormers, seeing how special it was for our loyal supporters as well and how we were all able to celebrate that moment even after the game as they came onto the field. That was a special afternoon."

Carr said on his decision to extend: "I look at our squad and instantly I look forward to growing with them. I see their work ethic every day and you can see that they have that hunger and desire to do well. Ultimately, I want to be a part of that because it excites me and keeps me on my toes to be the best I can be going forward."

On the road ahead: "I am really looking forward to the journey ahead for me and my family and the family of brothers on the field," he added.

"The next three years are about bringing home some silverware, that is the only way we can count our success, by bringing the cups to Loftus. I am one of the older guys around and I share the same ambition as the young guys do, that is to do well and give our supporters something to be proud of."
