Unorthodox Sport Signs Another South African Rugby National Player – Jaden Hendrikse
Submitted by: Sibabalwe SesmaniSpringbok scrum half Jaden Hendrikse joined Unorthodox Sport as their new client. Jaden is in the starting lineup for the national team as the Springboks aim to defend their title as world champions when they head into the 2023 World Rugby being hosted in France. His signing with Unorthodox Group aims to strategically place his brand at a visible "champion" level in the world and South Africa.
Jaden was always destined to represent South Africa on the international stage from a young age. He was part of the SA Schools and the Junior Springboks and was named “Breakthrough Player of the Tournament 2019" at the World Rugby U20 Championship. His big break came when he debuted for the Sharks in Round 3 of the 2020 Currie Cup Premier Division, and in no time, Jaden established himself as a regular in the Cell C Sharks’ No. 9 jumper. In no time, he had caught the attention of the nation as he joined the Springboks.
Jaden was born and raised in King Williams town and moved to Durban, KwaZulu Natal for school. He has a brother named Jordan Hendriske, whose regular position is fly half for the Lions squad. Surely, with such a heritage and resume, Jaden is on his way to making an impact on and off the field as his star grows.
