Marcell Coetzee will be featured on Monday as the latest signing for the Vodacom Bulls in what has been described as the “biggest holiday gift.”
Coetzee is known to have been on the Bulls and Jake White’s radar for some time, and the loose Springbok forward is now set to move to Pretoria from Ulster.
COLUMN: Bulls building a team with firepower to the front
After overcoming some injury issues after joining Ulster for the first time in 2016, Coetzee has made up for lost time in recent seasons and recently won three awards at the Ulster virtual awards ceremony in September.
Coetzee’s outstanding performances in the 2019-20 season, during which he ran a 506 meter run, 273 carries, 199 tackles and 19 turnovers in 28 appearances, were recognized with three awards at the club’s annual ceremony.
Coetzee, 29, was named the Ulster Supporters’ Club Player of the Season, won the Rugby Writers Player of the Year award and was voted Ulster Personality of the Year.
On Christmas Day, the Bulls tweeted a teaser post on social media, drawing attention to Monday’s announcement, but it’s fairly easy to spot that this is a picture of Coetzee playing Argentina on August 8, 2015.
Coetzee is expected to team up with the Bulls ahead of the Pretoria-based franchise’s entry into Pro16 next year.
