Sharks sign Jordan Hendrikse from Lions
By Josh Raisey
The Sharks have confirmed the signing of fly-half Jordan Hendrikse from the Lions ahead of next season.
The 22-year-old will team up with his brother, World Cup-winning Springbok Jaden, at Kings Park Stadium for the 2024/25 season.
Despite being included in Rassie Erasmus' South Africa squad recently for their alignment camp, the fly-hlaf has spent this season behind Sanele Nohamba in the pecking order at the Lions. Nohamba was also included in the Springboks squad.
Though Hendrikse has not been capped by South Africa yet, he has represented the Blitzboks on the sevens circuit.
The No10 will be leaving a Lions side that are currently say in eleventh place in the United Rugby Championship for a Sharks side that are still rooted to the foot of the table.
To add extra intrigue to this move, the two sides face each other this Saturday at Ellis Park in a URC South African derby.

If they win the challenge Cup then it will have all been worth it. If they don’t, then maybe he should go. Lots of ppl seem to think very highly of him as a coach, but maybe he would be better working under someone. Any top sides looking for forwards coaches rn?
Go to commentsJason Ryan knows his craft as forwards coach and I'm sure he’ll hold sway with Scott Robertson of who he feels worthy of selection…his credentials validated when he put a 7xcaps between them front row...Ethan, Samisoni and Lomax on Ellis Park…Go the AB's…
