Biography
Jaden Hendrikse is a skilful, combative scrumhalf with a sharp kicking game. Born in King William’s Town on 23 March 2000 and educated at Glenwood, he made his Test debut at 21 against Argentina in 2021 and was a member of the 2023 World Cup-winning squad.
For the Sharks he starred in their 2024 Challenge Cup semi-final win over Clermont at Twickenham, but a shoulder injury kept him out of the final, which the Sharks won. His younger brother Jordan is also a Springbok.
