The Dynaboars have announced their capture of Springbok and Bulls ace Kurt-Lee Arendse on a season-long deal.
The Japanese club released a statement on Tuesday confirming their success at luring Kurt-Lee Arendse away from the Bulls on a short-term deal, which will run from December 2024 to May 2025.
He will then return to the Bulls to complete the rest of his contract which in turn runs through to 2026.
SPRINGBOK OPENS UP ABOUT HIS SABBATICAL
Commenting his move, Arendse revealed his belief that continuing in Japan will make him a “better player”.
“I think the hard grounds in Japan and the general approach to the game, with its fast pace and plenty of ball movement, is going to suit me,” the Springbok said in a statement.
“Several of my teammates with the Springboks have or are in Japan and they all say the same thing: it’s a great experience playing there, but also living in the country, as it is completely different from the path most South African players tread, where they play at home, in the United Kingdom and Ireland, or in France.
“I’m really looking forward to the rugby, but also the cultural side of the experience, and seeing how it goes. Hopefully I can make a difference for the Dynaboars, who I know are a well-regarded club in the league, did well last season, and are ambitious about climbing up the table.”
