Former Kings player Sylvian Mahuza has joined the Lions.

Mahuza was instrumental in helping Pukke reach the Varsity Cup final, and he will start at fullback for the Lions against the Blue Bulls in a Currie Cup clash on Saturday.

'I don’t have words to describe how I feel,' Mahuza commented. 'I am just so thankful for the opportunity to join the Lions. I will make the most of this chance that has come my way.'
