Paul de Wet and Kade Wolhuter extend with Stormers

Young DHL Stormers halfbacks Paul de Wet and Kade Wolhuter have both signed two-year contract extensions.

Both players are products of the Western Province Rugby junior system, having grown up in the region and come through the structures.

De Wet was a stand-out performer this season, scoring tries against the likes of Edinburgh, Ulster and Ospreys in the DHL Stormers’ Vodacom United Rugby Championship title-winning campaign.

The speedy scrumhalf unfortunately suffered a shoulder injury just before the play-offs, but will be back to full fitness in time for the new season.

Flyhalf Wolhuter also had his struggles with injury this season, having recovered from a major knee operation. He made his DHL Stormers debut as a 20-year-old in early 2021 and with his injury concerns behind him, will be focused on delivering on his considerable potential next season.
