David McDuling
The Cell C Sharks have announced the signing of Reds lock, David McDuling, ahead of the ABSA Currie Cup season.
The Sharks press release reads as follows:
We are pleased to announce the signing of Reds lock, David McDuling, who will join the Cell C Sharks until the end of 2016.
Known for his never-give-up attitude and athleticism around the park, McDuling made his Super Rugby debut in 2014 against the Crusaders and has since amassed a total of 12 Super Rugby caps for the Reds. He also won the inaugural season of the National Rugby Championship with Brisbane City and had the most carries and run metres of any 2nd rower in the competition.
The Sharks Director of Rugby, Gary Gold said: “He has huge potential and is an exciting prospect. At the Reds, he played behind the Wallaby captain James Horwill and gained some valuable experience.
“He will certainly bolster our depth at lock and we look forward to welcoming him to the Cell C Sharks family.”
David McDuling added: “I’m excited to be joining the Cell C Sharks at this stage of my career. After speaking with Gary, I cannot wait to contribute to a successful Cell C Sharks team starting with the upcoming Currie Cup. The opportunity to live in a great city such as Durban and play for the Cell C Sharks was one I did not hesitate to take.”
David will arrive in Durban next week to join the Cell C Sharks for their pre-season training ahead of the start of the Currie Cup tournament.
