This is a press release from the Vodacom Bulls website:

The Blue Bulls Company (Pty) Ltd has secured the services of the Griquas’ tighthead prop Bees Roux.
The 27-year-old Roux has signed a two year contract with the Bulls on Thursday afternoon and he will join up with his new team mates on November, 1.

Roux, who made his Absa Currie Cup debut in 2005 for the Leopards before he joined the Griquas in 2007, says he is extremely excited about all the new challenges and opportunities that await him at Loftus Versfeld and he is convinced that it was the right thing to do at this stage of his career.

“I’ve have a wonderful time in Kimberley with the Griquas and I am sad to leave, but an offer to play for the Bulls is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

“The Bulls are a highly successful team and it will be a huge honour to play with all their world class players.

“I can obviously learn a great deal from them and I would like contribute to what they have achieved in the last couple of seasons.”

Coach Frans Ludeke added that it was very important for the Bulls to sign another experienced tighthead and he is full of confidence that Roux will be able to anchor the Bulls’ scrum.

“Bees has done very well for the Cheetahs in the Super 14 and together with Werner Kruger, Frik Kirsten and Rossouw de Klerk we will be able to go from strength to strength in the future.”

This is really good news for the Bulls supporters as the Bulls scrum has been struggling the past year. Hopefully Bees Roux can make a difference and help the Bulls to once again dominate up front or at least hold their own.
