POLLARD LINKED WITH POSSIBLE SA RETURN
Interestingly, cubs in SA are linked as well. Therefore, a massive return to SA is on the cards for the Springbok skipper.
“Pollard's contract with Leicester Tigers expires at the end of the season, and while the English club hopes to retain him, Rapport claims several teams – including some in South Africa – have made inquiries about his future,” they continued.
However, at the time of publication, it is unclear which SA franchises are interested.
“Four Japanese clubs are reportedly leading the race for the former Vodacom Bulls playmaker, with the financial muscle to offer a salary that few teams can match,” they concluded.
Ultimately, Pollard will not be shy of options as potential suitors monitor his next move. Furthermore, the Springboks star is likely to gain even more interest when he leaves English giants, Leicester.
