Jean-Luc & Daniel Du Preez sign for Sale Sharks

Sale Sharks have today confirmed the signing of 23-year old Du Preez twins Jean-Luc & Daniel on loan deals this season and will follow their brother Rob to Manchester for the start of the 2019/20 Premiership, before returning to South Africa to play for the Sharks in the 2020 Super Rugby Tournament.

Both twins made their first-team debuts for the Sharks in 2015 and have since gone on to make over sixty appearances each for the Durban based franchise.

The powerful back-rowers have both also represented the Springboks at senior level and offer an immense physical presence on the international stage too. Jean-Luc has been capped thirteen times by his country whilst Daniel has made four appearances to date.

Sale Sharks Director of Rugby Steve Diamond said:

“I am delighted to secure the services of both Jean-Luc and Daniel ahead of the 19/20 Gallagher Premiership, Both lads are huge men with a commanding physical presence and to be able to add two world class internationals to our forward pack for next year is a huge boost for the club. I look forward to welcoming both twins to Carrington later in the year.”
