Daniel calls time on his rugby career
Daniel is one of the few Sharks players to have had the honour of playing 100 games for one franchise in both Vodacom Super Rugby and Currie Cup.
AFTER more than a decade in a black and white jersey, Cell C Sharks stalwart Keegan Daniel will call time on his illustrious rugby career at the end of this year’s Vodacom Super Rugby tournament.
One of the few Cell C Sharks players to have had the proud honour of playing 100 games for one franchise in both Vodacom Super Rugby and Currie Cup, this Springbok capped player is regarded as a someone who always boxed well above his weight and who wore his heart on his sleeve.
His leadership credentials are unquestionable and among his many cherished memories, perhaps his defining moment as a leader was when he led The Cell C Sharks Currie Cup team to glory against Western Province in Cape Town.

Sharks CEO Gary Teichmann said his contribution both as a leader and mentor to the young players is commendable and will always be remembered.
“He has been a tremendous ambassador both on and off the playing field and we thank him for his invaluable contribution, which we will look back on with fondness.”
According to Daniel, the decision to retire was not an easy one to make.
“I believe that this is the right time for me to move on. This place has given me so much and I leave with some of the greatest memories made and friendships forged. I arrived in Durban as a youngster with a dream to play rugby on the highest stage and I have been blessed to have achieved some wonderful triumphs in my career. Thank you to every person who has impacted my life and who has contributed to my career. I bow out as a proud man,” he said.
