Speed, skill, and a serious eye for the try line – Edwill van der Merwe is coming to Hollywoodbets Kings Park!
The impressive winger will officially join the Hollywoodbets Sharks once his contract with the Emirates Lions expires, adding even more firepower to an already star-studded backline.
A dynamic and well-rounded player, Van der Merwe has been a standout for the Emirates Lions over the past few seasons. His pace, footwork, and finishing ability have made him a constant threat on the wing, and he proved his class on the international stage in 2024 – scoring a try in his Test debut for the Springboks in their victory over Wales at Twickenham.
Now, he joins a lethal Hollywoodbets Sharks backline stacked with Springbok firepower, including Makazole Mapimpi, Lukhanyo Am, André Esterhuizen, Grant Williams, and Jaden and Jordan Hendrikse.
With Van der Merwe’s explosive speed and agility, the Sharks are set to not only elevate their attacking threat but also continue their legacy as a powerhouse for South African rugby talent.
