“My freak injury last year gave me a lot of time to reflect on my career and the aspirations I have for it,” The 20-year-old Hendrikse said.

“While my dream is to play for the Springboks, I want to make sure I have the right support and resources to make it a reality. I’ve just come back from a tough injury and lengthy rehabilitation, so it’s very exciting for me to be joining Roc Nation at this important time of my career.”
