Stormers Tie Down Evan Roos on New Deal Through 2028

The deal secures a cornerstone for his prime years within a broader retention plan.

Overview

  • Director of rugby John Dobson framed the agreement as keeping Roos for his peak seasons and said the team has yet to see his best.
  • Evan Roos has crossed for six tries this season as the side opened with 10 wins from its first 11 matches.
  • The 25-year-old Springbok loose forward has 74 caps for the side and was the URC Players’ Player of the Season in 2022 during the title run.
  • Roos said Cape Town is home and credited the strong squad, coaches and support base for his decision to commit long term.
  • The extension follows last month’s long-term deal for flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who is signed until at least July 2029.
