New Sharks recruit, flyhalf Jordan Hendrikse is looking forward to the new season after completing his move to Durban from the Lions.

The Sharks announced earlier this year that Hendrikse would be joining the franchise, where his older brother, Springbok Rugby World Cup winner Jaden, already plays.

Since then, the younger Hendrikse, has himself become a Springbok, and will be hoping his to keep impressing Rassie Erasmus.

Both Hendrikse brothers were born in Qonce in the Eastern Cape, and are products of Glenwood High School. After school, the older brother was picked up by the Sharks, while Jordan opted to move to the Lions in Johannesburg when he matriculated a year later.

The move will see the two brothers reunited, and many will be hoping they will once again terrorise opponents the way they did when they were at school together.

“I’m just blessed to go back and join him. Hopefully I’ll play a couple of games with him and make history,” the 23-year-old Hendrikse said on an Instagram reel posted by Roc Nation.

“We’ve always had this rivalry of playing against each other. Now as a family, they can support one team instead of two.

“Our dad’s looking down on us with a smile, being so proud of us. We just want to put some action on, for people to put their 3D glasses on. You’re just going to see a movie. It’s going to be an awesome time down in Durban.”
