We are pleased to announce the signing of Waratahs loose-forward Jacques Potgieter on a two-year contract with the Cell C Sharks.

Potgieter is no stranger to the Cell C Sharks, having played his junior rugby in Durban. Over the last few years he has made steady progress up the ranks with his sheer physical presence and explosiveness, which resulted in a Springbok call-up in 2012. In 2014, he was instrumental in the Waratahs victorious Super Rugby campaign.

Confirming his signing, The Sharks CEO John Smit said: “Jacques is a great acquisition for the Cell C Sharks. He has been hugely impressive for the Waratahs and will add significant value and depth to our loose trio.

“We look forward to welcoming him back to Durban.”

Jacques Potgieter added: “I am really looking forward to joining the Cell C Sharks. This is the place where I played all my junior rugby and where everything started for me.

“I have great memories of my time in Durban and I am keen to contribute to the team’s ambitions in 2016.”

Jacques will officially join the Cell C Sharks in early 2016 for the Vodacom Super Rugby tournament.
