Bulls sign former Lions prop Dylan Smith
One of the unsung heroes of the Lions' success in SuperRugby between 2016 and 2019, who has meanwhile gained experience in France for one season, decided to return to South Africa to play for the Bulls.
The Bulls announced with great excitement that they have secured the services of prop, Dylan Smith.
The Blue Bulls Company (BBCom) confirmed that the 28-year-old front-rower would be joining the side on a three-year deal which will begin on July 1 until the end of June 2025.
Smith is a product of King Edward VII School (KES) in Johannesburg and played his junior rugby for the Golden Lions. He went on to play Carling Currie Cup rugby for the Johannesburg-based side and also amassed over 50 appearances for the Lions in the Super Rugby competition.
Last year, the talented prop made a move overseas where he joined top French club, Stade Francais, as a medical joker in the Top 14.
Smith will return to South Africa where he will bolster the Bulls front row in their efforts to make a mark in the United Rugby Championship.
“To be able to secure the services of a quality front-rower like Dylan Smith is massive for us at the Bulls,” said Bulls director of rugby, Jake White.
“Dylan is arguably one of the most talented props in South Africa. We have no doubt that he will contribute massively to the Bulls’ ambitions of continuing to grow to become one of the most competitive sides globally. We look forward to welcoming him to Loftus Versfeld and seeing him in the blue jumper,” White concluded.
