Dewald Potgieter will be available to the Bulls until the end of the Vodacom Super Rugby league stage.

Following the Bulls' successful negotiations with his Japanese club, Yamaha Jubilo, Potgieter has joined the Pretoria side with immediate effect. The Springbok flank will be available to the Bulls until 11 July. Thereafter, he is expected to return to his club in Japan.

The Bulls have already suffered a number of injuries, with Bok loose forwards Arno Botha and Pierre Spies sidelined for lengthy periods. Potgieter will certainly provide the Bulls with a quality back-row option.
