Munster confirm Van den Heever capture

Munster have confirmed the signing of Gerhard van den Heever, who will join the province in November.

The South African has played with the Stormers in Super Rugby for the last two years, following several seasons with the Blue Bulls.

Van den Heever has spent the majority of his career on the wing, but Munster coach Rob Penney says the 24-year-old “is a young guy that is capable of playing in multiple positions”. At 6ft 3ins and close to 100kg, van den Heever poses a physical threat, and alongside his searing pace will add something different to Munster’s outside backs.
