The Sharks have completed a move for one of South Africa’s most dynamic midfield players to join the Durban outfit from next season.
A star performer for the reigning Currie Cup champions, powerhouse Pumas centre Diego Appollis has put pen to paper on a deal with the Sharks.
ALSO: Sharks sign star flyhalf
The Paarl-born 22-year-old, who has previously represented the Vodacom Bulls, has top scored with six tries after 10 rounds in the 2023 Currie Cup, and featured prominently in an opening round demolition of his former team at Loftus Versfeld.
His signing comes swiftly after the announcement that flyhalf Siya Masuku will make Kings Park his new home from 2023-24, following two years with the Cheetahs.
