Sias Ebersohn
The Western Force has released flyhalf Sias Ebersohn from his contract, allowing him to return to his native South Africa.
The 26-year-old, who joined the Force from the Bloemfontein-based Toyota Cheetahs ahead of the 2013 Super Rugby season, has played 43 matches – scoring 212 points – across his 3 seasons for the Western Australian club.
Ebersohn has made a strong contribution to the club over the past 3 seasons, including playing a key role during the club’s most successful season in 2014.
However, leading into the 2016 season, the club identified the need to inject additional experience into its young backline, which coincided with an opportunity for Ebersohn to return to South Africa.
Having already signed Jono Lance for next season, the club is currently in the process of recruiting players that will provide the team with that experience.
“On behalf of the club, we’d like to thank Sias for his contribution to the Force, and wish he and wife Elette all the best for the future.”
Sias Ebersohn returns to Bloemfontein to re-join the Toyota Cheetahs, with Elgar Watts leaving the Cheetahs for the Southern Kings.
A Shame, I hope he gets a spot at the kings at least.

5 @ smallies:
Dink jy Sias Ebersohn sal vir Niel Marais uit die Cheetahs span kan lig as losskakel?
Ek twyfel nogal, Niel Marais is nogal goed.
@ grootblousmile: Fred Zeilinga, also in the mix.
7 @ Cheetah4eva:
So, the Cheetahs are actually quite sorted at flyhalf for 2016!
@ grootblousmile:
