Bulls trio sign contract extensions

Bulls players Gerhard Steenekamp, Zak Burger and Bernard van der Linde are the latest to commit to the Tshwane-based side after signing contract extensions that will see them remain at Loftus Versfeld.

Steenkamp, who has been a key member of the Vodacom Bulls team since 2020, will remain with the side until 2026. The 25-year-old prop is also a former Junior Springbok after representing the SA Under-20 side in 2017.

Burger, 24, has also penned down an extension that will see him continue as the Vodacom Bulls’ scrumhalf until 2026 while 20-year-old fellow No. 9, Van der Linde, has signed on until 2025.

“It is exciting to have secured Gerhard, Zak and Bernard for a few more years at the Vodacom Bulls. They have been important members of our squad and by committing for another three to four years is important for us in terms of continuity and retaining the core of the squad as we work towards building a successful team for the coming years,” said Vodacom Bulls director of rugby, Jake White.
