[QUOTE="Gena_ZA, post: 585876, member: 42835"] The player exodus at the Southern Kings is continuing, with Kings scrumhalf Shaun Venter the latest player to secure a contract with a Super Rugby franchise. Venter has signed a two year deal with the Cheetahs, commencing on the 1st November 2013. Venter is a direct replacement for the departing Piet van Zyl, who is heading for the Bulls, after the Currie Cup. Venter is a big lad for a scrumhalf (183 cm/85 kg’s) and is an experienced player. He has been in good form for the Southern Kings during the recently completed Super Rugby competition. He will compete with Sarel Pretorius and Kevin Luiters for a Super Rugby berth. Tewis de Bruyn’s contract expires at the end of October 2013, and it is unclear if his contract will be renewed.
