Cape Town - Cheetahs captain and hooker, Adriaan Strauss, is set to leave Bloemfontein and sign for the Bulls in Pretoria.
According to the supersport.com website, Strauss has rejected a contract extension with the Cheetahs.
Although the Bulls are officially only allowed to start negotiating from July 1, the signing of Strauss appears to be a fait accompli.

Strauss returned to Free State in 2007 and has made 95 Super Rugby appearances to date.
