The 27-year-old topped a number of his team's statistical categories in the United Rugby Championship. He led Edinburgh in defenders beaten (42) and metres gained (663).

Immelman, who can also play on the wing or at centre, featured in four EPCR Challenge Cup matches last season and previously played in the Heineken Champions Cup with Montpellier Hérault Rugby.
