Lions lose Odendaal to Wasps
English Premiership outfit Wasps has confirmed the signing of Lions centre Burger Odendaal.
The 28-year-old player will move to the UK next season.
Odendaal has captained the Lions and Bulls in Super Rugby, the Currie Cup and more recently the United Rugby Championship.
He also worked with Wasps attack coach John Mitchell during his time with the Bulls.
“We are delighted to be adding Burger to our squad for next season,” said Wasps head coach Lee Blackett.
“John Mitchell knows him well and recommended him after their time together at the Bulls.
“We were looking for a centre with great leadership qualities, as well as an outstanding competitor on the field and Burger ticks all of the boxes.
“Burger will bring authority and a physical edge to our midfield next season.”
