The Sharks have found the long-term solution to their flyhalf conundrum by securing the signature of a new No 10 for next season.
The 26-year-old has stood out as one of the best domestic playmakers in South Africa since joining the Cheetahs in 2021 after a stint in Spain, helping the Free Staters reach the last 16 of the Challenge Cup.
Masuku previously played for the Leopards, Lions and Kings, having represented the Pumas at youth level. With a cool-headed approach, and an accurate eye for goal and space on the field, Masuku could help the Sharks solve what has become a problem position at the union over the past few years. The Sharks have mostly alternated between Curwin Bosch and Boeta Chamberlain at No 10 in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship. However, since Bosch has returned to form and Chamberlain recovered from injury, the Sharks have fielded both in the starting lineup, with Chamberlain playing at fullback.
In the Currie Cup, the Sharks have used veterans Lionel Cronje and Fred Zeilinga as their playmakers, but Masuku would add further quality and depth to their stocks in both competitions, especially if they qualify for the Champions Cup.
