Faf de Klerk signs deal with Toyota Cheetahs

The Toyota Cheetahs announced the signing of double Rugby World Cup winner and veteran Springbok scrum-half, Faf de Klerk, on Sunday. According to the Cheetah’s website, De Klerk has committed to a two-year deal that will see him make Bloemfontein his home from June 2026. “His arrival marks one of the most significant signings in the franchise’s history, bringing a wealth of international experience and a winning pedigree to the Free State.” Klerk has established himself as a cornerstone of the modern Springbok era.

Known for his abrasive defensive style, tactical kicking, and lightning-fast service, he was a pivotal figure in the 2019 and 2023 Rugby World Cup-winning campaigns. We are beyond excited to welcome Faf to the Cheetahs family. “His tenacity on the field and his leadership off it are exactly what we need as we continue to compete at the highest level. “Faf is a player who changes the tempo of a game, and we know our supporters are eager to see him in the orange jersey,” said the team
