Stormers Rugby re-signs key players

Western Province Rugby Group CEO Paul Zacks has confirmed that Springbok hooker Bongi Mbonambi is among a host of key players that have committed their future to WP Rugby by signing long-term contracts.

Mbonambi made his test debut in 2016 following an impressive Super Rugby campaign with the DHL Stormers and has signed a new three-year contract with the union.

He is joined by the likes of backs Jean-Luc du Plessis, Dan du Plessis, EW Viljoen, Grant Hermanus, Justin Phillips and Brandon Thomson, and fellow forwards Chad Solomon, JD Schickerling and Kobus van Dyk, in signing long-term contracts.

“It is vital to retain talented players such as these who have signed new contracts, if we are to move forward and evolve," commented CEO Paul Zacks.

“Of course there are many others who are on existing contracts that will also play a big role in what we have planned for the future.”
