The Bulls have signed Springboks second-row Lood de Jager on a one-year deal from the Cheetahs.De Jager, 23, will link up with the Pretoria-based franchise on Nov.1 after previously weighing up offers from both the Bulls and Lions. He was crowned the SA Rugby Player of the Year in 2015 and boasts 20 caps for the Springboks.This is great news for us, not only because Lood is one of the best locks in the world, but also the fact that he sees the Vodacom Bulls as a team that will enhance his career and ambitions, Bulls high performance manager Janse van Rensburg said. This is a compliment to what we are trying to achieve and a massive boost to our vision to build something special again in Pretoria.De Jager said he was keen to join the Bulls, but still has unfinished business in Bloemfontein. I am pretty excited about my future with the Vodacom Bulls and what they want to achieve in future.That said, I am still committed to the Cheetahs till the end of the season and will give my all in playing for them. They have been instrumental in the way my career developed and I want to thank them in the best way possible -- by giving my all every time I take to the field for the Cheetahs.

Thats not a comment on the suspension that banished the Portland Winterhawks general manager and coach from his Western Hockey League teams bench for most of the 2012-13 season.

Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively. Jaromir Jagr wants to extend his NHL career, and his agent said some teams are "very interested" in his 41-year-old client. Jagr might have to wait a while, but the leagues active scoring leader is hardly the only free agent still looking for a new job this weekend. "He definitely still wants to play and there is some interest in him," Jagrs agent, Petr Svoboda, told The Associated Press on Saturday. "I think its going to take some time, but you never know for sure because there are three teams that are very interested." Svoboda declined to say which teams wanted to sign Jagr. J.P. Barry, who represents two of the top free agents, Daniel Cleary and Mason Raymond, also expected a relatively slower pace of moves. "Weve touched based with several teams, and many of them are being patient at this point," Barry said Saturday. "Weve got options for (Cleary and Raymond), but were in a holding pattern with each of them because I think everyone is taking a breath this weekend. "Ive been through about 15 of these, and there is always a frenzy of moves then a pause to reassess and then a second wave. Its tough to predict when that second wave will happen, so were always on call when teams are ready." Day 1 of the free agency flurry on Friday included dozens of deals, including Jarome Iginla signing a one-year contract worth as much as $6 million with Boston. The Bruins almost acquired the six-time All-Star late last season when Pittsburgh got him from Calgary at the trade deadline. Nathan Horton cashed in on his second strong post-season performance for the Bruins with a $37.1 million, seven-year contract in Columbus. Daniel Alfredsson made perhaps the most surprising move. The 40-year-old forward is taking what might be his last shot at winning the Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings, jilting the Ottawa Senators after being the face of the franchise. The Senators tried to bounce back by making a bold trade for Anaheim forward Bobby Ryan in exchange for a pair of promising players and a first-round draft pick. On Saturday, the second day NHL teams could sign free agents, the pickings were slimmer. Several top-tier players were taken off the market by teams that agreed to and signed deals following two days of ttalks.dddddddddddd St. Louis agreed to a one-year deal with veteran forward Derek Roy, pending a physical. The 30-year-old Roy split last season between the Dallas Stars and Vancouver Canucks and finished with seven goals and 21 assists. Among the other relatively notable names still available Saturday included Mikhail Grabovski, Ilya Bryzgalov, Tim Thomas, Damien Brunner, Toni Lydman, Brad Boyes and Brenden Morrow. Teemu Selanne is an unrestricted free agent, too, but no one expects the 43-year-old Finnish Flash to leave the Anaheim Ducks if he chooses to keep playing in North America. Ducks general manager Bob Murray plans to contact Selanne next week to find out if he is close to making a decision on returning or retiring. Senators general manager Bryan Murray, though, was among the many shocked when Alfredsson said he was ready to leave the only franchise he has played for in his 17-season NHL career. "He indicated winning a Stanley Cup was an opportunity he couldnt pass up," Murray said. "He told me the two teams he was talking to. He told me he thought they were in a position ahead of us to make that happen." While Alfredsson could have stayed in Ottawa to make more than the $5.5 million he will be paid next season by the Red Wings to chase the Cup, Horton is leaving a championship-contending team to be well-compensated by a franchise in Columbus that is without a post-season win in its 12 seasons. "This is a team on the rise with great players, and Im looking forward to being a part of it," Horton said. Jagr, a five-time scoring champion and former NHL MVP, was able to continue his career during the lockout-shortened season when the Dallas Stars gave him a $4.55 million, one-year contract last summer. After Jagr had 14 goals and 26 points in 34 games for the Stars, showing he could still produce, Dallas dealt him to the Bruins. He had nine points in 11 regular-season games with Boston and 10 assists in 22 post-season games. He didnt have a goal in the playoffs but made key plays that didnt show up on the score sheet. Jagr teamed with Mario Lemieux to help lead the Penguins win a pair of Stanley Cup championships as a teenager in his first two NHL seasons in 1991 and 1992, and was the league MVP in 1999. ' ' '
