Bulls hire former Sharks coach to help with Currie Cup preparation
The former head coach of the Sharks, who at the end of last year suddenly left his position at Kings Park in a slightly controversial manner, will help the Bulls in the Currie Cup tournament this year, after he entered into a short-term contract with them.
The Blue Bulls Company (BBCo.) announced the appointment of experienced coach, Sean Everitt, on a short-term deal.
He joins the franchise to form part of the setup that will help steer the Bulls through the 2023 edition of South Africa’s premier rugby competition, the Currie Cup.
Everett’s contract will run from mid-February until the conclusion of the 2023 Currie Cup competition.
The 53-year-old arrives at the capital having established himself as one of the leading modern coaches in the country, having enjoyed a successful coaching career that began in 2008. The Dundee High School alumni brings with him extensive experience across the Currie Cup and Super Rugby formats, respectively.
BBCo. Chief Executive Officer, Edgar Rathbone said that Everett is a proven winner, with a track record that speaks for itself.
“We are always looking to have the best rugby minds come onboard, to help us advance the objectives of our franchise. Sean brings with him, a lot of rugby IP and presents us with the opportunity to have an outside perspective. He has been impressive throughout his career, growing rugby champions that have gone on to entertain the rugby community for many seasons,” said Rathbone.
According to the Bulls CEO, Everett’s appointment is also their way of reinforcing their commitment to the Currie Cup and how well they want to continue doing in this competition.
“We are delighted to welcome Sean to Loftus and do hope that he will enjoy his time with us, and we are confident that the team he joins will collectively come together to bring more domestic success” Rathbone concluded.
