South Africa centre rejects offers to remain at Loftus Versfeld
South Africa centre Wynand Olivier has signed a new two-year contract with the Bulls.
Olivier has been a Loftus Versfeld since his schooldays and despite offers to play elsewhere, there was never any question of him leaving.
"I have made the decision and I am happy with it," he said.
"All the structures are in place at Loftus and I want to play for the Bulls."
Bulls coach Frans Ludeke is delighted with the loyalty shown by Olivier, who could have earned more money by moving.
"Our team is build around experienced individuals and Wynand is without a doubt one of them," he said.
"His has been phenomenal for us in the Super 14 and he is one of those players who are able to deliver something special when all the odds are against us.
"His defence is superb, on attack he is more than a handful and as one of our main decision makers he has been exceptional. Wynand operates like a world-class flanker on defence and the turnovers he forces are extremely valuable for us."
