After failing to agree new terms on a contract, it has been today announced that Adriaan Strauss will part ways with the Free State Cheetahs.
The former Bulls’ hooker, who has been with the Cheetahs since 2007, will now look to find a new club, but, given he’s easily one of the best hookers in World Rugby, that shouldn’t be a problem.
‘Despite every effort, the Free State Cheetahs(Pty) Ltd has regretfully been unable to come to terms with Adriaan Strauss on the renewal of his contract.
Initial negotiations over financial terms were met. However, other factors precluded the Free State Cheetahs from coming to an agreement with the player.
We would like to acknowledge his tremendous service to Free State Cheetahs rugby and wish him the very best in his future endeavours’ read a statement from the Cheetahs Board of Directors.
