The Houston SaberCats have confirmed the signing of flyhalf David Coetzer for the 2022 Major League Rugby season. Arriving from South Africa, the 22-year-old represented the Junior Springboks at the 2018 and 2019 World Rugby u20 Championships.
Coetzer has developed in the Blue Bulls age grade program. He led their u21 side to a national title in 2020. This past may he won a prestigious Varsity Cup title with the University of Pretoria. Also known as the Tuks, he played alongside another SaberCats recruit in back row Jaco Bezuidenhout.
A product of Selborne College school in East London, Coetzer is noted for his dynamic attacking ability. He now looks set to wear the No10 shirt for the SaberCats, a position largely filled by Sam Windsor since 2018. The latter has confirmed his departure to an Eastern Conference team.
