Sintu Manjezi has returned to Loftus Versfeld, signing a contract with the Vodacom Bulls until 2028.
29-year-old Manjezi - who was with the herd between 2020 and 2021 - returns to the capital after spending the last two seasons with the Glasgow Warriors in Scotland.
“Coming back home was a definite easy decision, I have lots of good memories from my first stint at the club and now I look forward to working hard to create more,” comments the Ngqushwa native.
The NMMU alma mater adds: “Being abroad was good, getting to experience different cultures, people and a way of life. Glasgow is a wonderful club and I enjoyed being challenged and learning in a different environment. The identity there was speed of play and mauling which I’ve added to my game,”
“I hope I can use those learnings and others to help the club as we go into the new campaigns.”
The St Andrew's College former captain says that returning to the Vodacom Bulls is made even easier considering that the club is involved in both European-based competitions.
“I am looking forward to continuing to play in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship and the Investec Champions Cup because both leagues are considered to be the best club competitions in professional rugby,”
“That has also made this move all the better because I have enjoyed both competitions, the quality of rugby in them and the calibre of players we get to play against and test our skills week in and week out. It will be good to get to do it once more with the daisy over my heart.”
