The Sharks have announced the signing of promising Maties utility back Nevaldo Fleurs.

Fleurs was the top points-scorer this year's Varsity Cup with 118.

The 22-year-old, who can play fullback and flyhalf, kicked six penalties in Maties' 29-23 loss to Tuks in the final before earning the Back that Rocks accolade for the tournament.

He has signed a two-year deal with the Sharks.

Congrats to Nevaldo Fleurs who was voted as the FNB Back That Rocks??????.

The @MatiesSport playmaker marshalled the backline brilliantly and was deadly with the boot. Don't be surprised if you see his name on a bigger stage in the near furture!#RugbyThatRocks pic.twitter.com/myeXrtf3UR
