He may not be a duplicate‚ like-for-like replacement for the departing Dillyn Lleyds but Warrick Gelant will more than fill the hole Western Province and the Stormers need plugged.
While Lleyds often has to dig into his resilience and resourcefulness‚ the wonderfully intuitive Gelant is a silent assassin who ghosts into areas that has the opposition scrambling.
Apart from operating in the No 15 jersey‚ Gelant of course also shares Lleyds’ versatility. In fact‚ the pair featured on opposite wings when the former featured in the Springboks starting line-up for the first time against Wales in Cardiff in 2017. Gelant’s regular presence at fullback for the Stormers will also allow Damian Willemse to establish himself at flyhalf.“Warrick has established himself as one of the most dynamic backline players in South Africa‚ so we could not be more thrilled to have him on our books going forward.
“Warrick is a deadly finisher with a wonderful feel for the game and awareness of space‚ which is just what we need for the talent we already have in the backline to thrive‚” said Dobson of the player who turned 25 on Wednesday.
