World Cup winner and Springbok centre Lukhanyo Am has agreed to a new three-year deal with the Sharks but the franchise will lose him for a couple of months as he heads to Japan.
The Durban-based franchise confirmed the news of the new contract on Thursday and that Am will be joining Kobe Steelers from next week.
Sharks CEO Eduard Coetzee said they are thrilled to have been able to reach the deal with Am as this bodes well for their ambition of becoming the most successful rugby club team in the world. “His contribution to the Cell C Sharks has been phenomenal and we look forward with eager anticipation to the next few years with him as an integral member of the team,” he said.
