Transfer Rumours: Bath target Handre Pollard set for move to Europe

Bath transfer target Handre Pollard is set to confirm his move to Europe, but it’s not to the south coast of England.

The Springbok fly-half is instead set to sign a contract with Montpellier, who he’ll join following the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

The 24-year-old has played for the Blue Bulls since 2013 but also did a season in Japan, playing for NTT DoCoMo Red Hurricanes.

South Africa Schools and Under-20 representation at three World Championships led to him making his full Springboks debut in 2014.

He now has 39 caps and has established himself as the Boks’ first-choice ten.
