Sharks lure another Cheetah to Durbs
The Sharks on Friday confirmed that Springbok loosehead prop Coenie Oosthuizen is on the conveyor belt from Bloemfontein to Durban.
Oosthuizen has signed a four-year deal with the Sharks.
Oosthuizen made his Springbok debut in 2012 and has since amassed 21 caps in the Green and Gold jersey.
He is a versatile prop that is able to play on both sides of the scrum and is a welcome addition to the Sharks' growing Cheetahs family – which include utility back Joe Pietersen and Springbok fullback Willie Le Roux.
"I am pleased that Coenie has taken up our offer to play in Durban," Sharks Director of Rugby Gary Gold said.
"He is an exceptional player who boasts surprising pace and is known for his strong runs and work rate around the park.
"His experience will prove invaluable to our team ambitions going forward."
Oosthuizen added: "It is a great privilege for me to sign with the Sharks.
"This is a new chapter in my career and I am looking forward to this exciting opportunity in Durban."
Oosthuizen will officially join the Sharks squad in November for pre-season training ahead of the 2016 Super Rugby tournament.
