In a major boost for South African rugby, Vodacom Bulls wing Canan Moodie has officially signed a new contract that will keep him at the Pretoria-based franchise until 2027. The young speedster, widely regarded as one of the most promising talents in South African rugby, has committed his future to the Bulls amid growing interest from international clubs.
### **Securing a Rising Star**
Moodie’s contract extension is a significant coup for the Bulls, ensuring that one of their brightest prospects remains part of their long-term plans. The 21-year-old winger has rapidly risen through the ranks, making his mark with electrifying pace, solid defensive work, and an impressive try-scoring ability.
In a statement, Bulls Director of Rugby Jake White praised Moodie’s commitment to the team: “Canan is a special talent, and we are thrilled to have secured his services for the foreseeable future. His development over the past few seasons has been remarkable, and we believe he will play a crucial role in our success moving forward.”
### **Moodie’s Impact on the Bulls**
Since making his professional debut, Moodie has been a standout performer for the Bulls, earning a reputation as one of the most dynamic wingers in the United Rugby Championship (URC) and Super Rugby. His ability to create scoring opportunities and his defensive resilience have made him an integral part of the squad.
Moodie’s form has also earned him recognition at the international level, with the Springboks calling him up for national duty. His experience with the national team has only enhanced his game, making him an even more valuable asset to the Bulls.
### **Interest from Abroad**
Before securing his contract extension, Moodie was reportedly on the radar of several European and Japanese clubs. However, his commitment to South African rugby highlights his desire to continue growing in the domestic game and contribute to the Bulls’ ambitions.
A source close to the negotiations revealed, “There was significant interest from overseas, but Canan feels he still has unfinished business in South Africa. He wants to keep developing in the URC and be a key player for both the Bulls and the Springboks.”
### **Looking Ahead to 2027**
With Moodie now locked in until 2027, the Bulls can continue building a squad capable of competing at the highest level. His presence in the backline will be vital as the team aims for domestic and international success.
Moodie expressed his excitement about the new deal, stating, “The Bulls have been my home, and I am grateful for the opportunities I have had here. I believe in what we are building, and I look forward to contributing to the team’s success in the coming years.”
With his future secured, all eyes will be on Moodie as he continues to shine for the Bulls and potentially cements himself as one of the best
wingers in world rugby.
