Springbok prop Steven Kitshoff is reportedly set to leave the DHL Stormers and head overseas.

According to the Irish Independent, Kitshoff has reached terms with Ulster and will join the Irish club after the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Kitshoff is contracted to the Stormers until 2024, but an informed source told Rapport newspaper that the Cape franchise will not stand in the 30-year-old’s way if he wants to leave earlier.

It would be Kitshoff’s second overseas stint – he represented French club Bordeaux from 2015 to 2017 before returning to Cape Town.
