Gloucester circling Sharks back-row James Venter
By Neil Fissler
Gloucester are closing in on signing South African blindside flanker James Venter from United Rugby championship outfit the Sharks on a deal from the start of next season.
Venter, 28, who hails from Port Shepstone at the mouth of the Mzimkulu River KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, has made 55 appearances for the Sharks since joining them from the Lions four years ago.
But the return to Durban of Siya Kolisi, who has led the Springboks to back-to-back World Cup Final successes, means that he will find his chances outside of the international window very limited.
Venter has started five games for the Sharks in the URC this season and was yellow-carded for the second time this campaign in the 41-24 demolition of Munster at Kings Park yesterday afternoon.
Educated at Glenwood Boys High, he played for the Sharks as a schoolboy before starting his career in the Currie Cup with the Golden Lions and playing a couple in Super Rugby with the Lions.
Venter was also part of the Sharks side that beat Gloucester in the Challenge Cup Final at Tottenham Hotspur stadium in May and sources in South Africa claim he will be paid around £180,000 a season to move to Kingsholm.
The Sharks are willing to let him leave because, apart from Kolisi, they are well-stocked in the position with Tino Mavesere, Dylan Richardson, Siya Ningiza, Phepsi Buthelezi and Manu Tshituka on their books.
It is another boost for the Cherry and Whites, who last week announced London trader Jack Ingles was taking a stake in his hometown club before winning their first home game of the season against Newcastle Falcons.
Jack Clement has started five of their six games this season on the blindside, while Ruan Ackermann started the opening weekend defeat to Saracens there, so Venter will be adding to the competition for places when he arrives.

The Team That Reclaimed My Stolen Cryptocurrency/ Hack Savvy Tech
As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try. HACK SAVVY TECH acted swiftly, gathering all the necessary information, tracking the scammer's digital footprint, and initiating the recovery process. To my relief, after several weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount of AUD 15,000. I couldn’t believe that what seemed like an impossible task had become a reality. Now, I wholeheartedly recommend HACK SAVVY TECH to fellow students and anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. They provided me with both the expertise and the support I needed, restoring not only my finances but also my faith in the possibility of recovering from such a terrible experience. If you ever find yourself in a situation like mine, I encourage you to trust HACK SAVVY TECH they truly know how to help.

Go to commentsMy name is Paul few month ago after I lost my Solana to fraud, I was absolutely terrified. But Supreme Peregrine Recovery was amazing. Their staff was prompt in their response and offered knowledgeable direction over the entire recuperation process. They put a lot of effort into tracking down the money I misplaced, and they kept me informed at every stage. With their commitment and knowledge, I was able to get my Solana back. Thanks very much for their assistance.
