Jake White has roped in former Sharks head coach Sean Everitt as a consultant to the Vodacom Bulls with immediate effect.

Sacked by the Sharks in November after a poor start to the 2022-23 season, Everitt’s contract with the Bulls will run from mid-February until the conclusion of the 2023 Currie Cup.

PLUS: Bulls welcome back Jake!

Everitt served as one of White’s assistants at the Durbanites in 2013, and was on the losing side against his former boss in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship quarter-final between the Sharks and Bulls in Pretoria last season.

It is understood that Everitt will initially assist the Bulls in the Currie Cup, although the experienced 53-year-old could be brought into the fold for the URC and Champions Cup campaigns.

Bulls CEO Edgar Rathbone said that Everitt is a proven winner, with a track record that speaks for itself: “We are always looking to have the best rugby minds come onboard, to help us advance the objectives of our franchise.

“Sean brings with him, a lot of rugby IP and presents us with the opportunity to have an outside perspective. He has been impressive throughout his career, growing rugby champions that have gone on to entertain the rugby community for many seasons.

“His appointment is also our way of reinforcing our commitment to the Currie Cup and how well we want to continue doing in this competition,”

“We are delighted to welcome Sean to Loftus and do hope that he will enjoy his time with us, and we are confident that the team he joins will collectively come together to bring more domestic success.”
