The Lions Rugby Company has named nineteen players who re-committed to the company until 2025.
Head of Contracts and Operations at the Lions Rugby Company Tracy van Ginkel said: “This is massive for us in that it emphasizes our commitment towards nurturing and retaining talent for the franchise. We pride ourselves in investing in talent both on and off the field, which is a key selling point in attracting players to Johannesburg.”

With such a demanding competition schedule, namely the Vodacom United Rugby Championship and the Investec Challenge Cup, it’s important that we maintain depth in key positions and overall experience.”
