A new chapter

Siya and his family recently relocated to France so he could join rugby side Racing 92.

He will make his debut for the team this Sunday, 26 November, as the team clashes with La Rochelle in Paris at 10 pm.

In a statement released in January, Siya said he was grateful for the opportunity and sees it as a chance to write a new chapter of his story.

“Not many athletes get the chance to write the chapters of their respective stories, and I view this new challenge in France as an opportunity to do this. Indeed, it has been a collaborative effort between the Sharks and Racing 92 that has enabled me to start a new chapter in my career.”

He added the move to France would allow him to spend more time with his family.

Rachel and the kids have sacrificed so much throughout my career, and I am immeasurably grateful for this.”
