REPORT | Springbok to depart Harlequins

The Bulls have reportedly agreed a deal to bring Springbok wing Travis Ismaiel back from English side Harlequins.

Ismaiel played for the Bulls between 2013 and 2018 before leaving to join Harlequins before the 2019-20 Premiership season.

According to SuperSport.com, the 27-year-old has put to paper on a two-year deal to return to the Bulls and further bolster director of rugby Jake White’s squad.
