Junior Pokomela signs on with Stormers

Loose forward Junior Pokomela has signed a three-year deal that will see him play for the DHL Stormers until at least 2024.

The athletic Pokomela joined the Stormers on loan at the start of the United Rugby Championship and made the move more permanent by signing a contract earlier this year.

A player who is comfortable in any position in the back row, Pokomela has impressed this season with his work ethic both on the training field and on matchday.

"It is great to know that I am settled here in Cape Town for the next three years for what is an important phase of my career.

"I have really enjoyed the environment here and feel that I have the opportunity to challenge myself and grow further with the players and coaches around me here," he said.
