JP du Preez of the Cheetahs beats Hyron Andrews of the Sharks during their Super Rugby Unlocked match at Kings Park on November 6, 2020.
Cheetahs to block JP du Preez will become the last South African in the English club books Sale of sharks.
The 26-year-old, who is 2.09m in socks, said OFM Sport that Saturday’s Super Rugby Unlocked game against Griquas in Bloemfontein will be the last for the Cheetahs.
“It will be a very emotional day. It was an honor to play for the Cheetahs and I am very grateful for the experience I have accumulated over the past few years.
“I will miss Bloemfontein very much, but it is time for me to expand my skills and continue to improve my game,” he said.
Du Preez’s move to Sale has yet to be confirmed by the English club, but he is expected to be the 11th South African on their records.
Jono Ross, Akker van der Merwe, Coenie Oosthuizen, Lood de Jager, Cobus Wiese, Faf de Klerk, Rohan Janse van Rensburg and the Du Preez brothers Dan, Jean-Luc and Robert all practice their trade in the Manchester-based team.
