Junior Pokomela commits to Cheetahs for another two years

The Cheetahs have announced that the eighth man, Junior Sipato Pokomela, has committed for another two seasons with the club.

Pokomela made his PRO14 debut on 16 September and played in 11 matches so far.  He further has two Super Rugby caps and 4 Currie Cup caps to his name.

In 2016 he was selected as vice-captain of the SA U20 team, and captained the team in the play-off final against Argentina where he proved to be a stand out player in the U20 World Cup.

Despite his leadership capabilities, Pokomela is known for his big ball carries as well as his defensive ability.
