The Vodacom Bulls have announced the acquisition of utility back James Verity-Amm from Griquas effective immediately.

The 26-year-old Verity-Amm attended Hottentots Holland High School in the Western Cape, where he represented Western Province at junior level and UWC in the Varsity Shield.

In 2016, he made the long trip to Australia where he linked up with the Future Force Academy in Perth. It didn’t take long before he got his opportunity with Western Force where he made his starting debut against the Lions in the 2017 Vodacom Super Rugby campaign.

He later joined the Brumbies, but signed on to play for Griquas in the 2020 Super Rugby Unlocked and 2021 Carling Currie Cup tournaments.

Commenting on his recruitment of Verity-Amm, Bulls director of rugby Jake White said: ‘James is a talented player who is rock solid on both attack and defence. His acquisition will only strengthen our backs and we are looking forward to adding a player of his ability to our roster.’
