CURRIE CUP COACH ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Sharks are pleased to announce that Sean Everitt, the coach of the successful 2018 Under 19 Cell C Sharks side, will be the head coach for the Cell C Sharks 2019 Currie Cup competition.

 

Everitt has coached the junior teams with great success, most recently in 2018 when the Cell C Sharks Under 19s went the entire season without suffering a single loss. In 2017, he took on the role of backline coach for the Cell C Sharks Vodacom Super Rugby campaign when the team won nine of their 15 season matches.

 

“Sean is an astute coach with strong communication skills, and we are confident that his experience and success with the junior teams with be hugely beneficial during this campaign, especially considering the young and hugely talented squad that has been assembled”, said The Sharks CEO, Gary Teichmann.

 

He will be ably assisted by David Williams and Nick Easter, both of whom were part of the Cell C Sharks’ Vodacom Super Rugby coaching staff.

 

Williams joined the Cell C Sharks at the start of the season following stints with Kobe Steelers, London Irish, Bath, the Southern Kings and the Cheetahs in their PRO14 campaign,

 

Easter, the former England Number 8, was involved in the coaching set-up for the successful Currie Cup campaign last year which saw the Cell C Sharks crowned champions.  He returned to Durban to contribute towards our 2019 Vodacom Super Rugby campaign and remains here for the remainder of the season.

 

The Cell C Sharks Currie Cup campaign kicks off in two weeks’ time when the team hosts the Griquas at JONSSON KINGS PARK on Friday 12 July.
