Former Ulster star Duane Vermeulen retires from rugby after World Cup glory with Springboks
Duane Vermeulen is considering a coaching role in retirement
Former Ulster forward Duane Vermeulen has called time on his rugby career after helping the Springboks to back-to-back World Cup titles.
The South African, who played in the back row, won 76 caps in an 11-year national team career.
The 37-year-old played 34 times for Ulster across two seasons after joining in 2021.
Vermeulen has been linked with a move into coaching and did not discount it.
“If you had asked me this a couple of years ago, I would probably have said no,” he said recently. “But when you finish (your playing career) you want to give back to the younger guys.”
