Rugby Union - Rugby World Cup 2023 - Semi Final - England v South Africa - Stade de France, Saint-Denis, France - October 21, 2023 South Africa's Steven Kitshoff leaves the pitch as he is substituted off REUTERS/Stephanie Lecocq/File PhotoTwo-time World Cup winning prop Steven Kitshoff will return to the Cape Town-based Stormers next season after signing a two-year deal, the South African franchise has announced.

“Having left at the end of last season to join Ulster, the opportunity for Kitshoff to return home following the recent investment from the Red Disa Consortium in the Stormers was too good to pass up,” the club says in a statement. The 32-year-old loosehead prop, who has played 138 times for the Stormers, led them to the United Rugby Championship title in 2022 before moving to Belfast after last year’s Rugby World Cup success with the Springboks.

“Steven is a Stormers great and adds so much to our environment beyond his immense value on the pitch,” coach John Dobson explains. “We always wanted to get him back and I am just thrilled that with the backing of our new owners, we have been able to make that happen so quickly.” Any cookies that may not be particularly necessary for the website to function and is used specifically to collect user personal data via analytics, ads, other embedded contents are termed as non-necessary cookies.
