Loose forward Juarno Augustus has signed a two-year deal with English Premiership side Northampton Saints and will leave in July, with a view to returning to Cape Town a more experienced and well-rounded player. Augustus is a proud product of Cape Town, having attended Tygerberg High School and represented Western Province at the U18 Academy Week before joining the Western Province Rugby Institute after school. He made his senior Western Province debut in 2017 and played his first game for the Stormers later that same year. He has since accumulated 19 caps for the Stormers and has played 15 times for Western Province, having suffered a few injury setbacks in the last few years. Stormers head coach John Dobson said that Augustus will benefit from the experience of playing in England and return a more experienced player.
