Free State Rugby announced that several stalwarts in the Toyota Cheetah frontline have extended their contracts.
They are Louis van der Westhuizen (hooker), Victor Sekete (lock), Gideon van der Merwe (flanker), Jeandre Rudolph (flanker).
From Enisei-STM in the Russian Rugby Premier League, Friedle Olivier will be joining the Toyota Cheetahs in July. He signed a two-year contract. His regular position is as a number eight, but he played as a flanker and a lock earlier in his career.
A former Toyota Cheetah player, Hencus van Wyk, will be returning from San Diego Legion in the USA to join the side on 1 July.
