Stormers Director of Rugby John Dobson has expressed his excitement at the arrival of the team’s newest front-row recruit, highlighting the qualities he believes will make the 25-year-old Springbok prop a key figure in the squad.
Dobson praised the young loosehead’s athleticism, scrummaging power, and dynamic presence around the field, describing him as the ideal replacement following the retirement of veteran stalwart Steven Kitshoff.
“He brings exactly the kind of energy and physicality we need in our pack,” Dobson said.
The coach further emphasized that beyond his on-field impact, the new signing embodies
the culture and values that have defined the Stormers in recent seasons. Confident in his potential, Dobson believes the addition will not only strengthen the immediate setup but also secure long-term stability in one of rugby’s toughest positions.
With fresh talent blending into an already formidable group, the Stormers are setting their sights on maintaining their forward dominance in the seasons ahead
