Bok loose-forward Nizaam Carr returns to Loftus to play for Bulls

The former Stormers man previously also played for the Bulls before heading to England and Wasps.


Springbok loose-forward Nizaam Carr will play for the Bulls once again, following the demise of Wasps in England.

Carr has already joined the Pretoria-based team and will wear the blue jersey until at least June 2024.

The loose-forward, who went to school at Bishops in Cape Town, previously played for the Stormers and also turned out for the Bulls before heading to Europe. He made 74 appearances for Wasps, scoring 15 tries, and also featured as a loan player for Coventry on 11 occasions.

Speaking on his return to Loftus, Carr said: “I have obviously had a few offers but what came to mind for me was the culture at the Bulls, and the obvious quality of coaches that really made me feel welcome already.

“Because I have worked with the Bulls, I was comfortable and confident in making the decision because I know what I am going to work with, so this is a full circle moment for me.”

“The Bulls have incredible, quality coaches and I know from my own experience, having worked with
Jake White a season or so ago; he made me a better player in how I approach a lot of situations. I know he gives a lot of the boys belief when they are on the field, watching how they play with so much belief and confidence, that is because of Jake.”
