The 26-year-old started his rugby at Border before his career took off with the Southern Kings in 2016. Later that year he made the move north to Durban and hasn’t looked back.
Reacting to his appointment, Lukhanyo said: “It is a huge honour and privilege to be chosen to lead this team of brothers. We have an exciting new squad of players and management, who are eager to make their mark and to see us grow as a group. We will all be working together with positivity and eagerness, making sure the team always comes first.”
As a senior Sharks player and a World Cup-winning Springbok, Am brings strong leadership qualities to the role.
With less than two weeks to go to the start of the tournament, Coach Everitt has also announced his 45-man squad who will do duty during the Sharks 2020 campaign.
