Emirates Lions skipper has confirmed his move to Wasps ahead of the 2022/23 season. The 28-year-old Burger Odendaal joined the Lions in 2020 after playing over a century of games for the Bulls.
Odendaal, who also spent time with the Kubota Spears in Japan in 2018/19, told the club's official website he was looking forward to the new challenge.
"It's an exciting time to join the club, and I can't wait to get stuck in and hopefully make an impact next season. Coventry Building Society Arena looks like a special place, and I can't wait to play in front of the Wasps faithful."
Wasp head coach Lee Blackett said: "We are delighted to be adding Burger to our squad for next season. John Mitchell knows him well and recommended him after their time together at the Bulls.
"We were looking for a centre with great leadership qualities, as well as an outstanding competitor on the field and Burger ticks all of the boxes. Burger will bring authority and a physical edge to our midfield next season."
