Bulls’ Arno Botha is moving to Ulster after 2017 Super Rugby season
The Bulls have announced that Springbok flank Arno Botha will leave the franchise to join Irish club Ulster later this year. Botha will fulfil his 2017 Super Rugby duties before heading to Belfast on a two-year deal at the conclusion of the tournament. He has made 46 Super Rugby appearances so far. "Arno received a very good offer from Ulster but the situation is that we can’t financially make an offer close to what he will earn‚" Bulls high-performance manager Xander Janse van Rensburg said. "We want to thank him for his contribution‚ we are thankful and proud of what he has done. Luckily we have great players coming through that we will be investing in. "He is still a big player for us in the coming months and we are expecting some meaningful contributions from him as we embark on a tough Super Rugby campaign."
