‘The game we love so much is full of the most extreme ups and downs,’ Kade Wolhuter wrote.

‘Unfortunately yesterday afternoons opening game of the Rainbow Cup SA vs the Sharks will be my last for the season after tearing my ACL during the match.

‘Really gutted to be leaving the boys @dhlstormers so early on in the season but at the same time looking forward to the adventure to getting back out on the pitch.

‘Thank you so much for all the messages of support, they don’t go unnoticed!’
