Johan Momsen will be staying on with Rugby ATL. The South African second row has signed a new three-year deal with the Eastern Conference Champions that keeps him at the Snake Pit through the end of the 2024 Major League Rugby season.
After impressing in the truncated 2020 campaign, Momsen played an even bigger role in 2021 with his performance earning MLR Forward of the Year honors. He featured in 17 of 18 games this season, all but one starts. It included a first MLR appearance in the No8 shirt during the Championship Final against LA.
The 26-year-old joined ATL on loan from Griquas in 2020. Momsen then returned to play at the back of the scrum during the Currie Cup that year before making three appearances in Super Rugby Unlocked. He played four times as a replacement during the 2021 Currie Cup following the MLR season.
