“A keen family man, and dad of three, he certainly epitomizes the values and beliefs of the Bulls Family. As most South Africans he is an avid sport enthusiast, with a keen interest in golf, having held the position of club captain and Chairman at Pinnacle Point Golf Club. He also serves on the home owners board of Pinnacle Point,” said the Bulls in their official press release.
Strauss said they extremely excited about the appointment of Meyer.
“We firmly believe that he is the man to take the brand forward. His track record and skill sets speak for themselves, together with a host of attributes that really appealed to the board that appointed him. On behalf of everybody at Loftus, I’d like to officially welcome him to the Bulls Family,” said Strauss.
* Meanwhile they BBCo also confirmed that they are in the final stages of appointing a head coach and will make an announcement during the course of next week.
