Soon thereafter on his Twitter page he wrote: "Nervous but exited! will be spending the next 2 and a half years in Pretoria! Bulls is great union!"

With uncertainly over the Lions' future in Super Rugby, Hattingh joins a growing lists of departures from Johannesburg. Centre Doppies la Grange has signed to play in Italy and wing Michael Killian has confirmed he will join up with the Southern Kings.
