The explosive No.8 has again been a central figure this season, scoring six tries as the Stormers started the campaign with a run of 10 wins from 11 games.

He burst onto the scene at the age of just 21, winning the URC Players' Player of the Season award in 2022 as his team took the title. The 25-year-old is known for his blend of speed and physicality, which makes him a devastating runner and tenacious defender.

Having earned national honours as a result of his impressive performances at club level, Roos is poised to further build on the 74 Stormers caps he has earned in what has already been an impressive career.

Director of Rugby John Dobson said that it is hugely encouraging to see a player of Roos' calibre commit himself to the project.

"Evan made such a huge impact for us at a very young age, it is hard to believe he is still only 25," Dobson told the Stormers' website.

"This extension means that we have him here for the prime of his career and I'm convinced we are yet to see the best of him in our jersey.

"He is a player who has such incredible natural ability and would fit in well at any club in the world. But what is perhaps more impressive is the way he carries himself around his teammates. There are few players as committed to the cause as Evan and we are thrilled to have him stay with us.

Meanwhile, Roos said that he is focused on contributing as much as he can to the squad's goals in the coming years.

"I could not be happier to be extending with this team," said the former Paarl Boys High pupil.

"Cape Town is home and I have a fantastic support base here, not to mention the fans and the incredible set-up we have with a strong squad and world-class coaches.

"I know that the best is yet to come from this team and I'm just really looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together going forward."
