This is where my professional career started and it will always be a place that is close to my heart.

“I have a few top memories like my first Super Rugby match, winning the Currie Cup straight after Covid when this current group started to come together and the other top memory is having my parents at every game since I started to play at the under-21, every weekend I play they never miss a game” he went on.Van Staden says family was a big influence on his decision to remain playing in South Africa but also the current Bulls environment.

The flanker continued: “I am very happy at Bulls and where I am at this stage in my life. Both myself and my wife are very happy to be in Pretoria and are excited to be a part of this team and to stay a part of it for the next few years.”The ambitious Krugersdorp native says there is bigger and better that lies ahead for both the club and supporters.
