Lions Players Update – New or extended contracts
October 3, 2012 in Uncategorized
The Golden Lions announced the players who extended their contracts or who signed new contracts with the union. These players are in addition to players already under contract.
I am particularly glad to see Malcolm Marx’s name on the list as I was worried that we’d lose him. At 1,88m and 108 kg the SA Schools hooker is a monster and I won’t be surprised seeing him play some senior rugby next year.
