A member of the Springboks squad in 2018, versatile back-rower Cyle Brink joined Leicester Tigers in the summer of 2020, arriving during enforced mid-season break, but had to wait for his debut as he worked his way back from injury.

Cyle had four seasons with the Lions in Super Rugby and six as a member of the Golden Lions in South Africa’s Currie Cup, playing across the back-row positions and noted for being physical and athletic.

After attending King Edward VII School – where alumni include Bryan Habana, Joe van Niekerk and Malcolm Marx – Cyle was a member of the South Africa Under-20s squad which finished runners-up at the Junior World Championship in 2014.
