Powerful South African agrees Loftus Versfeld switch
The Blue Bulls have secured the services of the Griquas' tighthead prop Bees Roux, who will join up with his new team-mates on November 1.
The 27-year-old has signed a two-year contract with the Pretoria-based franchise.
Roux, who made his Currie Cup debut in 2005 for the Leopards before he joined the Griquas in 2007, says he is extremely excited about all the new challenges and opportunities that await him at Loftus Versfeld.
"I've have a wonderful time in Kimberley with the Griquas and I am sad to leave, but an offer to play for the Bulls is a once in a lifetime opportunity," he said.
"The Bulls are a highly successful team and it will be a huge honour to play with all their world class players.
"I can obviously learn a great deal from them and I would like contribute to what they have achieved in the last couple of seasons."
Coach Frans Ludeke added that it was very important for the Bulls to sign another experienced tighthead and he is full of confidence that Roux will be able to anchor the Bulls' scrum.
"Bees has done very well for the Cheetahs in the Super 14 and together with Werner Kruger, Frik Kirsten and Rossouw de Klerk we will be able to go from strength to strength in the future."
