Rumours circulated in February 2023 that van Rooyen's contract was up for renewal. Despite achieving a win rate of less than 40%, his contract was expected to be "more lucrative than John Dobson",[4] who won the United Rugby Championship in the 2021/22 season with the DHL Stormers.[5] In the same season the Emirates Lions failed to make the playoffs, finishing 12th out of the 16 team competition.[6]
