A dynamic and versatile member of the Stormers backline is reportedly on the radar of several sides in France, England and Japan.

According to RugbyPass’ Neil Fissler, Premiership, Top 14 and Japan League One clubs are said to be vying to sign outside back Wandisile Simelane for next season.

The 26-year-old’s impressive performance in Saturday’s 40-0 Investec Champions Cup demolition of Sale Sharks has reportedly intensified interest from multiple suitors.

Sources suggest Castres, Bristol Bears and NEC Green Rockets Tokatsu are leading the chase for the former Bulls and Lions utility back, whose contract expires at the conclusion of the current season, while Exeter Chiefs could potentially join the race.

Simelane, who can slot in at centre, wing and fullback, has impressed since joining the Stormers in January 2023.
