The Sharks have confirmed the signing of prop Ox Nche from the Cheetahs.

Nche is the latest in a string of high-profile signings for the Durban-based franchise in an attempt to boost its squad ahead of the 2020 Vodacom Super Rugby season.

The 24-year-old Nche represented Free State at all youth levels and has been part of the Cheetahs’ senior ranks since 2016.

Last year, Nche made his Test debut for the Springboks against Wales in Washington DC, but he has been unable to add to his international caps tally.

Last week, the Sharks announced the signing of James Venter, Madosh Tambwe, Sikhumbuzo Notshe, Henco Venter, Jordan Chait and Michael Kumbirai.

We would like to introduce Ox Nche who will be joining the @CellC Sharks family from the start of pre-season
