François ‘Faf’ de Klerk, born on October 19, 1991, in Nelspruit, South Africa, began his rugby journey at Hoërskool Waterkloof in Pretoria. His early career saw him join the Blue Bulls at the age of 16 in 2007, followed by a stint with the Golden Lions from 2010 to 2011. De Klerk’s professional debut came with the Lions in the 2014 Super Rugby season, where he contributed to a 21–20 victory against the Cheetahs. His consistent performances led to his inclusion in the Springbok training squad in 2015, marking his first call-up to the national team setup.
De Klerk’s career progressed significantly when he joined English Premiership side Sale Sharks in 2017, signing a three-year contract. During his time at Sale Sharks (2017–2021), he made 103 appearances and scored 241 points, becoming an acclaimed player. At the end of the 2017/18 Premiership season, he was honored as the Sale Sharks Player of the Year and Fans’ Player of the Season. He was also named in the Premiership Team of the Year and was shortlisted for Player of the Season. In December 2018, he extended his contract with Sale Sharks until 2023. Following his successful tenure in England, de Klerk moved to Japan Rugby League One, joining the Yokohama Canon Eagles in 2022, where he has since made 33 appearances and scored 25 points.
His international career for South Africa began in 2016, making his test debut against Ireland. De Klerk played a crucial role in South Africa’s triumphs, including the 2019 Rugby Championship and the 2019 Rugby World Cup, where he was named Player of the Match in the quarter-final against Japan. He also contributed to the Springboks’ 2023 Rugby World Cup victory, securing his second Webb Ellis Cup. As of October 2023, he has earned 60 caps for South Africa, scoring 50 points, and remains a key figure in international rugby.
