Weight gain for CA Brive, which announced on Friday the official signing of Marcel van der Merwe’s South African international right-back for the next two seasons.
In an official press release issued by the club, the South African is delighted with his signature on CA Brive. I’m really excited about joining Brive and finding the Top 14. I can’t wait to come to Corrèze to take on this challenge. I will give my best to bring my qualities to the team. he told the club’s website.
“Marcel Van der Merwe is an experienced player who knows the Top 14. “Having the ball in his hand, he will be a great advantage for our team, a strong support for our young pillars.”commented by Brive coach Jeremy Davidson.
Going through RC Toulon, the 31-year-old is coming out of a tense season with the London Irish (26 games) in the Premier League. Springbok is a real addition to the Brive Club, which has barely avoided landing on the Pro D2.
