Springbok captain unveiled at The Sharks

SOUTH African rugby captain Siya Kolisi has put pen to paper, sealing the deal on his switch to the Cell C Sharks after 11 years with Cape Town’s DHL Stormers.

“I bought into the vision of the Sharks immediately – the energy around the club, the management set-up, the squad and the potential for success was so strong,” said Kolisi.

The former Stormers captain is eager to build on his career in his career “I have always had a desire to be the best, and play with the best, to reach my potential on-and-off the field, and this move is just another step in maximising what I can achieve within my career.

“This is a very exciting new chapter for me and my loved ones, and one I am embracing fully. I arrive with a commitment to give this team everything I have, and I’m thankful to the Sharks for the opportunity. We can’t wait to see what Durban has to offer.” he continued

Kolisi amassed a large total of 115 Vodacom Super Rugby caps and certainly made his presence felt on the field. In this new environment Kolisi brings a hunger to bring more trophies and a winning culture on and off the field to the Sharks team culture.

“We are delighted to welcome Siya and his family to the Cell C Sharks. We pride ourselves on being a family unit who support and treat each other unbelievably well and a player of Siya’s pedigree is a welcomed addition to the team.” said Sharks CEO Eduard Coetzee
