🏉 Big news for Welsh rugby fans! Christ Tshiunza, the talented lock, is making waves with his latest career move. After his stint with Exeter Chiefs, Tshiunza has signed a one-year deal with Sale Sharks, but it looks like he might be sticking around longer. 🦈
Sale’s Director of Rugby, Alex Sanderson, revealed plans to extend Tshiunza’s stay beyond this season, stating, “It’s as much for him as it is for us.” The relocation brings big changes for Christ, who’s also tying the knot this summer. 🤵💍
Sanderson is optimistic, saying both sides are keen to make this move a long-term success. If all goes well, we could see Tshiunza anchoring down at Sale for the foreseeable future. 🔄
As for his international career? The 22-year-old’s future with the Welsh national team is up in the air, hinging on the offers from Welsh clubs. Cardiff was reportedly keen, but Tshiunza chose to stay in the Premiership for now.
The lock joins a growing Welsh presence at Sale, alongside Nicky Smith and Tomas Francis. Tshiunza is ready for new challenges saying, “I wanted to be a part of competing for big trophies. A change of scene at Sale could be just what I need.”
