The Vodacom Bulls have continued to boost their squad with the signing of former DHL Stormers flank Nama Xaba.

Xaba arrives at the capital to begin his journey with the herd on an initial two-year deal until June 2026.

The former Glenwood High, University of Cape Town and DHL Western Province captain joins the Vodacom Bulls from the Stormers. The announcement comes hours after the Bulls confirmed the signing of Springbok wing Aphiwe Dyantyi.

Xaba spent much of his junior and senior professional career in Cape Town, making 25 senior appearances for the Stormers.

"This is a privilege for me to come join the most successful union in South Africa," the 26-year-old said.

"I am looking forward to a different challenge away from my comfort zone. There are a lot of quality players at the Vodacom Bulls and I want to play alongside them.

“I also have a wonderful opportunity to be taught by seasoned coaches, I am looking forward to learning from them.

"I cannot wait to slot into the brand of rugby this club plays and I have hopes of doing my bit to add more silverware to the Loftus trophy cabinet."
