The Bulls may be struggling to get the desired results on the pitch, but they have managed to win the battle against stiff competition to keep one of their most prized players in Kurt-Lee Arendse at Loftus Versfeld.
The Bulls, who have lost four matches on the trot in all competitions, successfully convinced the Springbok speedster to sign a new contract with the franchise despite huge interest for the utility back from other suitors.Bulls CEO Edgar Rathbone said there was a big battle for the winger or fullback's signature from overseas and local competitors.“We are extremely proud of the incredible work Kurt-Lee has put into his time here in Pretoria.
“We have full confidence he will continue to add value to what we offer, and in turn we will continue to help him develop into the rugby star he is destined to be. We wish him more success, and of course we will be alongside him throughout his journey.” The Paarl-born player joined the Bulls in August of 2020. Since arriving in Pretoria, Arendse has become a key member of the first team in both the United Rugby Championship and Champions Cup, earning 31 Bulls caps in all competitions.
“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 he is a Springbok.”The Bulls, who lost to the Lions in Pretoria in the URC on Saturday, are on a break from the European competition. They return to it with a trip to Ulster on March 25.
