Ox Nche commits for another year with the Cheetahs

Despite interest from other rugby clubs, Springbok Ox Nche has decided to extend his contract with the Cheetahs.

Nche, who earned his Springbok cap against Wales in June this year, has committed with the club until 2019.

Born in Thaba Nchu, he first earned provincial selection in 2011, when he was included in the Free State squad that participated at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week in Queenstown. He attended HTS Louis Botha and soon became a promising prop. He played for SA Schools in 2012/13, SA U20 in 2015 and SA A in 2017.

At the age of 22, Nche already played 64 games for the Cheetahs (25 SuperRugby, 17 Currie Cup, 22 PRO14).
