"Aphelele is one of the most talented young rugby stars in South Africa and in the sport. Partnering with him is a natural fit due to both his rugby skills and incredible life story," said Yormark.

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.
