The Sharks have announced the signing of flanker Jacques Vermeulen from Western Province. The former Baby Bok, who represented South Africa at the 2014 JWC tournament, is one of several major signings announced by the Durban based franchise for the 2017 Super Rugby season, alongside the likes of Kobus van Wyk and Clement Poitrenaud.
The move will also re-unite Vermeulen with Baby Bok team-mates Jean-Luc and Daniel du Preez. Vermuelen played at the 2014 tournament as an injury replacement for Daniel.
