Stormers Confirm Short-Term Return of Hacjivah Dayimani

The loose forward rejoined following a mutual release from Racing 92 to provide depth for an injury-hit pack.

Overview

  • The Cape Town franchise announced on February 13 that Dayimani has signed through the end of the current season and is available immediately.

  • A 2022 URC title winner with 57 Stormers caps, Dayimani said he is happy to be back in Cape Town and ready to contribute after his stint in France.
  • The Stormers next play the Lions at Ellis Park on February 28, and Dayimani is eligible for selection for the derby.
