However, news that he has decided to stay in Cape Town will come as a massive boost to Western Province and the Stormers.
This also comes shortly after Province signed two promising young players in flyhalf Kade Wolhuter and loose forward Keketso Morabe. The 18-year-old Wolhuter, who was schooled at Paul Roos Gimnasium in Stellenbosch, returned to the Western Cape after a stint at the Montpellier academy in France.
