The South African reports that since breaking through to the Sharks' senior side in 2018, just one year after matriculating at the famed Dale College in his birthplace, the Qonce-born standout player has been a reliable performer.
Fassi was swiftly promoted to the KZN Supersport Rugby Challenge side before being quickly promoted to the Currie Cup side, where he played well.
"We are looking forward to growing with him throughout his exciting career and providing him with the best opportunities to achieve his rugby and personal goals," says Yormark.
"Given that my career is still quite young, knowing I have the right people around me gives me the peace of mind to focus on my priority which is rugby," said the young rugby player, responding to the positive news.
Springboks keep their domination on lock
Briefly News previously reported that the Springboks maintained their position as the world's best rugby team after convincingly beating Argentina 29-10. The game was decidedly one-sided with the Springboks controlling the game.
The Springboks managed to score two tries and a series of penalty kicks. Argentina managed to score a solitary try in the dying seconds of the game, a testament to their determination not to give up. South Africans took to social media to celebrate the amazing success of the national team.
