Jacques du Plessis
After reports surfaced from South Africa earlier this week, Bath Rugby has verified that the injured lock from the Blue Bulls has indeed joined the club to advance his rehabilitation.
He has been troubled by hamstring and knee injuries over the past few years. This versatile forward has accumulated over 100 appearances for Montpellier in the Top 14 and 37 appearances for the Bulls.
If du Plessis achieves full fitness, Bath Rugby and the Bulls have tentatively agreed on a deal to keep him at the club until the end of the current season. His current contract with the Pretoria side is scheduled to end in June.
