Currie Cup-winning captains Juan de Jongh and Deon Fourie have both signed contracts with Western Province and will make their return to Cape Town in July. Springbok midfielder De Jongh, who lifted the Currie Cup at Newlands in 2014, has 97 Stormers caps and played 59 times for Western Province before moving to English Premiership side Wasps in 2017. The versatile Fourie, who can play both hooker and in the loose trio and has been playing in France since leaving the Cape in 2014, has 84 Stormers caps and 90 caps for Western Province. "Playing for the Stormers and Western Province was a dream of mine from a young age and I am thrilled to be returning to where it all started for me," he said on the Stormers website. Coach John Dobson said that De Jongh and Fourie have been brought back because they both have much to offer on the field.
