Rugby: Veteran forward Fourie wins contract extension

# Rugby: Veteran utility forward Deon Fourie has been given a one-year contract extension with the Stormers, despite an injury that has brought a premature end to his season. The 38-year-old loose forward had ankle surgery earlier this month after getting injured in the United Rugby Championship clash against Connacht in Cape Town on 19 April and will not play again in this campaign but has been retained for the next. Fourie was the oldest debutant in South Africa’s history when he earned a first cap in 2022, three months shy of his 36th birthday.
