“I’m very excited to join the Yokohama Eagles team, it’s a real honour for me to represent the club and its people,” said Janse van Rensburg.

“I strive to help the team in any way possible and can’t wait to build long-lasting relationships within this season.

“I can’t wait to show you all as much of me as I can in this season.”

Janse van Rensburg joined the Sharks in 2022 from Sale in England.
