Ulster have announced the signing of experienced lock Eli Snyman on a two-year deal. The 29-year-old Zimbabwean-born forward will join Ulster this summer, after his second stint with Italian outfit Benetton. Snyman would go on to play for the Bulls in Super Rugby and the Currie Cup before joining Benetton in 2019. "We have a number of talented young locks coming through who will really learn a lot from his leadership and experience he has gained over his career. "To the Ulster supporters, I can’t wait to meet you all very soon and become part of the Ulster Rugby family."
