South African rugby player Jean-Luc du Preez is set to leave English club Sale Sharks to pursue opportunities abroad.
The 29-year-old forward joined the Sharks in 2019, where his older brother also played. This season, du Preez made 20 appearances for the Sharks, and it is expected that he will join French club Bordeaux.
Previously, the South African star made the following statement regarding the move:
“Sale is a special place. A place where I am excited to go in and see the boys every day. A place that has given me and my family so much and most importantly, a place I now call home.”
“I am genuinely grateful to the club and the people who have helped me grow both on and off the field. I will truly miss the club and the people here.”
