Jacques Vermeulen has even signed up a deal with previous year’s Gallagher Premiership runners-up Exeter Chiefs.
The 24-year-old, that can play at flanker or lock, joins from South African Super Rugby facet the Sharks.
Vermeulen is the next South African to combine Exeter after the catch of Jannes Kirsten, who will share a house.
“I’m very enthusiastic about the opportunity to visit a world class club like Exeter Chiefs,” Vermeulen told the Chiefs’ official website.
“Now , I feel like a small boy again, really excited about the challenge and just being a part of the group.
“I have watched a great deal of matches on TV and I saw Sandy Park is always full on game days. The team itself plays very good rugby and I can’t wait to become part of the vibe of the group, learning about the culture and doing my best to get the club.”
Vermeulen has arrived on Saturday in Devon before the Chiefs’ Premiership Rugby Cup clash with Bath.
“Hopefully it won’t take me a while to buy into the culture and after that, I just want to give it 100 per cent,” he explained.
