The Sharks have secured the services of Springbok centre Rohan Janse van Rensburg on a three-year deal.

Janse van Rensburg, who played only one Test for the Boks in 2016, will join the Durbanites from the Sale Sharks in Manchester, where he has been based since making a permanent move from the Lions in 2018.

The 27-year-old was seen as a missing piece in the puzzle for the Sharks, as the Durban side are reportedly set to lose inside centre Marius Louw to the Lions.

At 1.83m and 109kg, Janse van Rensburg offers the Sharks the kind of muscle in midfield they have been missing since Andre Esterhuizen left the team for England.

It is yet another big transfer coup for the coastal outfit, after luring Bok enforcer Eben Etzebeth back home from Toulon.
