The 22-year-old will team up with his brother, World Cup-winning Springbok Jaden, at Kings Park Stadium for the 2024/25 season.
Despite being included in Rassie Erasmus’ South Africa squad recently for their alignment camp, the fly-hlaf has spent this season behind Sanele Nohamba in the pecking order at the Lions. Nohamba was also included in the Springboks squad.
Though Hendrikse has not been capped by South Africa yet, he has represented the Blitzboks on the sevens circuit.
The No10 will be leaving a Lions side that are currently say in eleventh place in the United Rugby Championship for a Sharks side that are still rooted to the foot of the table.
To add extra intrigue to this move, the two sides face each other this Saturday at Ellis Park in a URC South African derby.
