Cooper and Jordaan to leave Sharks
The Cell C Sharks will say farewell to Kyle Cooper and Paul Jordaan at the end of the 2016 Super Rugby season.
Both players have decided followed the massive player exodus to Europe.
Cooper, who has been at the Sharks for six years, is headed to Newcastle Falcons while Jordaan will ply his trade in France for Top 14 outfit Stade Rochelais.
Jordaan's departure will leave a void in the Sharks backline, as he proved to be an amazing attacking threat. Meanwhile the Sharks will have to start blooding a number of young hookers when Cooper leaves.
“It’s always sad losing players of their calibre; but they have decided that the time is right to experience a new playing culture in a different country," Sharks director of rugby Gary Gold to the Sharks website.
“They both have made significant contributions to the Sharks over the last few years and we would like to take this opportunity to wish them, as well as their families, the very best for this new journey."
