Springbok star Kurt-Lee Arendse signs new Bulls contract

Kurt-Lee Arendse has committed himself to three more years with the Bulls, and Jake White believes that's good news for all Springbok rugby fans.

The BlitzBok, who received his first call-up to the Springboks in July 2022, has made seven appearances for South Africa, making his debut versus Wales.

The 26-year-old from Paarl has already achieved much during his flourishing rugby career, winning multiple Sevens World Series tournaments, while also claiming Super Rugby Unlocked and Currie Cup winners' medals.

Now Arsendse has put pen to paper on a new contract with the Bulls, which will keep him in Pretoria until at least 2026.

"One of the things that I am fortunate about is that I have a long-term deal with the Bulls and I have a lot of players who have committed to long-term deals too," said Bulls Director of Rugby Jake White.

"So to have Kurt-Lee join the likes of Canan [Moodie], Johan [Goosen] and a very long list of great players who have also committed their time to this work we are doing here is fantastic.

"Kurt-Lee is a brilliant player with the ability to change the game, finding ways to create something out of moments of need and this is the reason why he is a Springbok.

"It is great to have him stay with us for a longer term and that is fantastic news for rugby fans across South Africa."
