The Blue Bulls Company announced yesterday that they signed the exciting utility back, 26-year-old James Verity-Amm, who will move to Pretoria from Kimberley, where he played for Griquas this past season.

Verity-Amm’s move to Loftus Versfeld is effective immediately.

The exciting player attended Hottentots Holland High School in the Western Cape where he represented Western Province at junior level and UWC in the Varsity Shield.

In 2016, he made the long trip to Australia where he linked up with the Future Force Academy in Perth. It didn’t take long before the man with an affinity in finding the try line got his opportunity with Western Force where he made his starting debut against the Lions in 2017’s Super Rugby tournament.

The deadly attacking threat has kept South African teams on their toes since returning from a short stint with the Brumbies, where he continuously kept opposition defences honest during the 2020 Super Rugby Unlocked and 2021 Carling Currie Cup campaigns for the Peacock Blues.

Fans will also remember the amazing brace he scored against the Bulls at Loftus late last year in the Unlocked tournament.

“James is a talented player who is rock solid on both attack and defence. His acquisition will only strengthen our backs and we are looking forward to adding a player of his ability to our roster,” said Bulls Director of Rugby, Jake White.
