The Sharks will significantly boost their playmaking stocks by reuniting two brothers as the Durban side continues to strengthen for the upcoming season.
According to Sunday newspaper Rapport, Jordan Hendrikse is set to leave the Lions for a return to Durban, where he will be reunited with older brother Jaden.
The Hendrikse brothers both attended Glenwood High and represented the Sharks at U18 level, but while Jaden stayed at the Sharks, Jordan joined the Lions after a stint in Stellenbosch with Maties.

Jordan Hendrikse signed a new contract with the Lions in 2021, but had his 2022-23 season prematurely ended by a shoulder injury which required surgery.
The 22-year-old is already running and kicking, and is expected to be fully fit by the time the 2023-24 United Rugby Championship launches in October.
Hendrikse will become the latest addition to the Sharks, who have already signed Cheetahs flyhalf Siya Masuku to offer competition to Boeta Chamberlain and Curwin Bosch.
