Despite every effort, the Free State Cheetahs (Pty) Ltd. has regretfully been unable to come to terms with Adriaan Strauss on the renewal of his contract.
Initial negotiations over financial terms were met. However, other factors precluded the Free State Cheetahs from coming to an agreement with the player.
We would like to acknowledge his tremendous service to Free State Cheetahs rugby and wish him the very best in his future endeavours.

Board of Directors – Free State Cheetahs (Pty) Ltd.

Persverklaring 25 Julie 2014

Ondanks alle pogings was die Vrystaat Cheetahs (Edms.) Bpk. tot sy spyt onsuksesvol om ‘n ooreenkoms met Adriaan Strauss te bereik ten opsigte van ‘n hernuwing van sy kontrak.
Aanvanklike onderhandelinge ten opsigte van finansiële terme was suksesvol maar ander faktore het die Vrystaat Cheetahs weerhou om ‘n ooreenkoms te bereik.
Vrystaat Cheetahs wil graag erkenning gee aan Adriaan vir sy groot bydrae en diens aan Vrystaat en Cheetah rugby en wens hom voorspoed toe vir sy toekoms.
