Hyron Andrews: Sale Sharks sign South African lock on short-term deal

Lock Hyron Andrews has made 83 appearances for Durban-based Sharks

Sale Sharks have signed Sharks lock Hyron Andrews on a short-term deal until the end of the season.

The 28-year-old South African joins as cover for Jonny Hill after he suffered a season-ending injury in the defeat by La Rochelle in January.

Andrews could make his competitive debut against Bath on Sunday, 24 March.

"He pairs his prowess in the line-out with a mobility around the park," director of rugby Alex Sanderson told the club website.
