Wehr began his senior career with the Griffons before making the switch to Griquas in Kimberley, where his sharp footwork and try-scoring instincts quickly turned heads. He has also featured for the Durban-based Sharks in the URC and represented South Africa on the sevens circuit.<\/p>\n
Sale Director of Rugby Alex Sanderson is already a big admirer of what the winger brings.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe opportunity to sign Gurshwin came about and when we looked into him, we loved what we saw.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s fast and elusive, he works hard and he scores loads of tries. He\u2019s very much in the Kolbe mould so I\u2019m sure our fans are going to love watching him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been training with us since last week and we\u2019ve been so impressed. We can\u2019t wait to watch him go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wehr says the move felt like the perfect fit from day one.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe decision to come to Sale was a no brainer. It\u2019s a great club that plays really good rugby and I think I will fit in here really nicely.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince I arrived last week everyone has really made me feel welcome. Now I\u2019m so excited about getting on the pitch and playing with some of the brilliant players here, like George Ford. I think my style of play will fit in well with the team\u2019s style.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile I\u2019m here I want to do my best to prove myself and hopefully be here for much longer. I want to win trophies and be part of a successful team and bring some magic to the club on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
