Lukhanyo Am can’t wait to start his journey as captain of the Sharks this season.
Having taken over the leadership from last year’s skipper, Louis Schreuder, Am will take charge of the team for the first time when they cross swords with the Bulls in their season-opener next Friday.
Of his appointment, the Springbok centre says: “It is a huge honour and privilege to be chosen to lead this team of brothers.
“We have an exciting new squad of players and management who are eager to make their mark and to see us grow as a group.
“We’ll all be working together with positivity and eagerness, making sure the team always comes first.”
