Premiership champions Exeter Chiefs have bolstered their squad ahead of the new season with the acquisition of South African lock Wilhelm van der Sluys.
The 25-year-old forward heads to Sandy Park on a one-year deal from Super Rugby side, the Kings, and becomes Rob Baxter‘s sixth new addition of the summer along with James Freeman, Matt Kvesic, Tom O’Flaherty, Toby Salmon and Nic White.
The 6ft 6in, 103kg forward said: “I’m very excited to be here, I’ve only heard good things about the club and I cannot wait for the opportunity that lies in front of me.
“I’m coming to a club that is full of confidence, especially after winning the Premiership last season, so I can’t ask for a better club to join. I know it’s going to be a new challenge for me, but it’s one that I am really looking forward to.
“It always helps seeing a familiar face with a guy like Don Armand. He’s done incredibly well for himself since moving here, but speaking to other players who are here in England, they say only good things about the club. They talk about them having good values, a great work ethic, so I’m so grateful to now be part of it.”
