Dean Greyling heading to France

Former Springbok prop Dean Greyling has been released from his contract with the Bulls with immediate effect and will join French club Oyonnax for the next two seasons.

Greyling played only three tests for the Springboks, two against New Zealand and one against Australia. His final test, in 2012, was in Dunedin where he received a red card for an off-ball attack on All Black captain Richie McCaw. He was never selected for the Springboks again.

The 30-year-old, who played almost all of his career in Pretoria, will join Southern Kings captain Steven Sykes at the French club for the coming season.
