Burger completed his comeback this past weekend when he came off the bench during the Boks’ 47-13 win over a World XV side at Newlands.
“It is great to have someone with Schalk’s incredible experience in the squad and it is also amazing to have a player who has so much skill and can play anywhere in the back row coming off the bench for you,” said Meyer.
“This week was the first time I have worked with Schalk and I have been impressed.”
The 31-year-old has played at number 8 as well as on both flanks during his illustrious career and his versatility makes him a valuable weapon for the Boks going forward.
Burger recently signed a two-year deal with Japanese side Suntory Sungoliath where he will link up with Bok teammate Fourie Du Preez.
As a result, he will miss this year’s Currie Cup but he is set to return to the Stormers ahead of the 2015 Super Rugby campaign.
