Duane Vermeulen has confirmed that 2023 will be his final season, while naming a surprise next move to help him stay in top shape for the World Cup.
Vermeulen finished up with a two-year stint with Ulster, having joined the Belfast-based club from the Vodacom Bulls in 2021.
“I’m focused on this World Cup. If I play, I’ll give it my everything. If I carry a bag or I’m on the bench, I’ll give it my everything,” Vermeulen said in a United Rugby Championship press release on Wednesday. “But I’d also like the opportunity to sign off on my own terms. There are a lot of players that don’t get to sign off on their own terms. For me, I’d like to say farewell to the game in my own significant way.
