Lions extends contracts of senior players
The
Golden Lions Rugby Union has retained their coach Johan Ackermann while
the bulk of their senior squad will also stay on for 2017 and beyond.
The Golden Lions Rugby Union has negotiated long term contract extensions with most of their senior players to compliment the contract extensions of their senior coaching staff. As the process of extending more players is currently underway, a total of 21 players including Warren Whiteley, Jaco Kriel and Elton Jantjies can be confirmed to have committed for 2017 and longer.
“The Golden Lions Rugby Union also has a strong contingent of young players in their player pool. We are very excited about the University of Johannesburg who will host the Varsity Cup semi-final, and Wits who has been promoted to the Varsity Cup for 2017 after winning the Varsity Shield,” said Rudolf Straeuli, CEO of the Golden Lions Rugby Union.
