The specialist lender has selected the 25-year-old scrum-half – who recently joined the Sharks on a three-year contract – as its chosen player for the 2017/18 season.
As part of the sponsorship deal, Together’s logo now appears on the Sale Sharks kit, alongside the club’s other corporate partners.
Faf has been described as “world class” by Sharks’ director of rugby Steve Diamond, and has made 11 appearances for his home country since making his international debut last year.
“Faf has already made his mark internationally because of his fast style of rugby and he’s still only 25, so there’s a lot of excitement that he will add some real flair in the Premiership,” said Pete Ball, CEO of personal finance at Together.

“His emphasis on drive and commitment mirrors our company beliefs and we’re all really looking forward to watching him play.”
Faf added: “I’m really enjoying my time here and pleased to have the support of Together.
“It’s also been great getting to know the guys in the squad.
“A few of them have had call-ups to the England team and they are all playing with a lot of confidence, which is great to see on the pitch.
“There are also several players like myself who have come in from different countries this season, who really want to make an impact on the team.
“We need to score as many points as possible and not leak any tries.
“If we do that, the results will look after themselves.”
Historically based in Sale, the Sharks home ground is now the AJ Bell Stadium and they have played in England's top flight since 1994.
