The Bulls have confirmed that scrum half and winger Francois Hougaard will not be leaving the Bulls before October 2012.
There have been rumours that the Stormers were looking to sign Hougaard as a replacement for Ricky Januarie but the Bulls say the reports are “unfounded and without fact.”
Bulls High Performance Manager Ian Schwartz said, “We find it sad that no one even approached us to establish the facts on this matter as we gladly would have shared the fairly common knowledge that Francois is contracted with us till the end of next year.”
