Steve Diamond continues to bolster his Sale Sharks team with Springboks ahead of the 2019/2020 Premiership season.
Coenie Oosthuizen has become the latest Springbok to sign for the English club and he follows his former Cheetahs teammate Lood De Jager to Manchester.
Springboks Robert du Preez and Akker van der Merwe also put pen to paper earlier this year to join Sale.

Sale Sharks Director of Rugby Steve Diamond was pleased to announce the signing this week, he said:
“Coenie joining us, along with Lood is a huge statement of where we want to be, he is 130kg, can play on both sides of the scrum and has a skillset away from the set piece that is unique for a prop of his size. He also has considerable experience playing with Akker Van Der Merwe at the Sharks so I think he will fit in perfectly at Sale. We look forward to welcoming him to Manchester later in the year ahead of the 19/20 Gallagher Premiership.”
