“The weekend may have been my last match for the Bulls, but I will return at the back end of April come 2023. I missed my country a lot during my five years at Ulster, so I know I am coming back after this short journey.”
Speaking on why he views the Bulls as a special team, Coetzee said: “It is an honour to play for this team. I am extremely happy with where I am with the Bulls, the staff and the team spirit we have built; that is where my heart is. Me and my wife have definitely found a home in Pretoria, and we cannot wait to see how further the team develops and how I can help in driving and contributing to its success in the future.”
