      Roos started and scored in the Stormers’ 44-21 win over the Dragons on Friday, as they pursue a top-four finish to book a home quarter-final.

      “My rugby career has been transformed here at the DHL Stormers and playing for this team means a lot to me,” Roos said.

      “We have still got so much that we can achieve together and I want to play a central role in the future success that is to come,” he said.

      Stormers director of rugby John Dobson added: “Evan has been simply sensational since joining us three years ago and at just 24, there is still plenty more to come from him in a DHL Stormers jersey.

      “He brings physicality, pace and most of all a fantastic attitude to everything he does and we look forward to watching him continue to grow in our system.

      “These extensions and a few more that will be announced soon show that the key players in this squad are committed to our vision and have bought-in to build something special over the next few years, which is very exciting,” he said.
