09/05/2024 07:09
The Vodacom Bulls have pulled off another shrewd deal by securing the services of a key playmaker on a long-term contract.
Utility back David Kriel has extended his stay at Loftus Versfeld until June 2027.
Kriel, who can play centre, wing and fullback, has made 97 appearances for the Pretoria outfit since joining in November 2020.
The 25-year-old said Loftus has become home and is happy to be closer to his family while being involved in a project that he believes in.

"Pretoria is home and I enjoy the people in this city, and most importantly my teammates; I enjoy them and I love working with them," he explained.
"It was easy to choose to stay because I am living out my lifelong dream and I am enjoying it, to keep on chasing the Springbok dream and hopefully will achieve it over the coming years,"
"I am looking forward to the growth of the squad as a whole, us working together to reach our goals and set higher goals and win a couple of trophies to bring them back to Loftus Versfeld."
