Sharks show faith in their flyhalf with new long-term deal

The twice-capped Springbok has agreed a new three-year deal that will keep him at the Durban-based franchise until at least the end of the 2026 season.

Bosch, who originates from Port Elizabeth and attended Grey High, joined the Sharks' junior team in the 2016 season. Over time, he has become an influential and crucial member of the union's primary squad, now at the age of 25.

In recent years, he has been linked with numerous moves overseas, including to the English Premiership club Bath.

Bosch has faced his fair share of on-field struggles in recent times, including spells of injury and poor form, but he emerged as one of the Sharks' top performers in this season's United Rugby Championship and Heineken Champions Cup and it seems the Durbanites now see him as the future at flyhalf.
