Juarno Augustus, the player affectionately known as 'Trokkie', is excited about his move from Northampton Saints to Ulster Rugby on a three-year deal starting next summer. Augustus, a key player in Northampton's first team, will bring his strong ball-carrying skills and impressive performances to Belfast.
Ulster Rugby 's latest signing, who is affectionately known as ‘ Trokkie ’ , is excited to become the latest South African player to join the province. Juarno Augustus will make the switch to Belfast from Northampton Saints on a three-year deal next summer.
Standing at 6’2 and weighing 118kg Augustus' nickname is perhaps not surprising, especially given his strong ball-carrying threat during his time with the Saints, and before that at DHL Stormers and Western Province. Now he is relishing his new challenge and following in the footsteps of his fellow countrymen.READ NEXT: Larne confirm new manager as Nathan Rooney replaces Tiernan Lynch at Inver
"I have heard about the proud history of the province with South African players, so I will hopefully feel right at home. I’ve heard a lot about the amazing atmosphere in Belfast and can’t wait to meet all the Ulster fans soon!” “We are delighted to agree terms with Juarno and are extremely excited about what he will bring to Ulster Rugby," said Ulster Rugby’s General Manager, Bryn Cunningham.
