Saints sign hooker Michael van Vuuren

Northampton Saints can today announce that hooker Michael van Vuuren has signed for the Club.

The English-qualified 27-year-old arrives at Franklin’s Gardens from Premiership rivals Bath, but boasts a wealth of experience playing across the globe with stints at Free State Cheetahs, Stade Français, Eastern Province Kings, and Leicester Tigers also to his name.


Van Vuuren, a former South Africa Under-20 international, has racked up 25 Premiership appearances already, while he also played a part in London Irish’s promotion from the Championship last season while on loan with the Exiles.

Van Vuuren turned out in the Currie Cup, the Vodacom Cup, and the Top14 before his switch to English rugby and the Premiership.
