Former Bulls captain Burger Odendaal and returning tighthead prop Ruan Dreyer have also headed to Ellis Park

Former Western Province and Stormers centre EW Viljoen is the latest player to add his name to the list of acquisitions made by the Lions.

Viljoen‚ who joined Leicester Tigers in 2019‚ is another midfield acquisition in a field that appears to be increasingly crowded at the Lions. They now have Odendaal‚ Wandisile Simelane‚ Duncan Matthews‚ Dan Kriel and Manuel Ras all vying for a spot at centre. The Lions have slipped well down the pecking order and were 13th on the table when Super Rugby came to an abrupt halt earlier this season.

“The Lions have a really attractive style of play. I hope I can contribute to that‚” said the former Monument High pupil.
