South African forward Andre Goedhals leaves the Pumas for Exeter, adding another Springbok-country talent to English rugby's top tier.
South African talent is heading to Devon. Exeter have signed forward Andre Goedhals from the Pumas, bringing another player from the Mzansi rugby pipeline into the English game.
Goedhals comes through the Pumas setup, one of South Africa's proud provincial sides. The move is another sign of how much English clubs value players from South Africa's domestic scene, which keeps producing athletes ready for a bigger stage.
For Exeter, the signing adds fresh depth up front and a player shaped by the physical, high-intensity rugby played back home. South African forwards have long had a reputation for power and edge, and Exeter will hope Goedhals brings both to the squad.
For Goedhals, this is a big step from the Pumas to a new league, a new country and a new level of competition. Back home, supporters will be watching to see how he settles in. Afroballers will keep tracking his progress.
