The Bulls have strengthened their squad with the signing of Malcolm Marx, crowned World Rugby Player of the Year. The Pretoria-based team is keen on assembling a top-notch lineup.
Recently, the Bulls added Luan Giliomee and World Cup champion Kwagga Smith to their roster. Marx will join them in July 2027, further solidifying the club's intent under coach Johan Ackermann to build a championship-winning squad.
Marx, a seasoned player with 94 Test caps and 29 tries, brings a wealth of experience as he moves from Japanese franchise rugby back to South Africa. 'Joining the Bulls is an exciting opportunity,' Marx shared, eager to reunite with familiar faces and contribute to the team’s success.
Marx previously played under Ackermann in a successful Lions team that reached consecutive Super Rugby finals. Ackermann expressed admiration for Marx's hard work and integrity.
The Blue Bulls Company CEO, Edgar Rathbone, emphasized the significance of Marx's arrival, highlighting it as a step towards creating a trophy-winning team, reflecting the club's ambitious vision.
