Cape Town - Cheetahs hooker Jacques du Toit has jumped ship to South African PRO14 rivals, the Kings, ahead of the 2019/20 season.
Bloemfontein-born and Grey College-schooled 25-year-old Du Toit made five appearances for the SA Under-20 team in 2013, before going on to play Vodacom Cup, Currie Cup and PRO14 matches for the Cheetahs.
Du Toit will be hoping for a victorious farewell in Saturday's Currie Cup final when the Free State Cheetahs host the Golden Lions in Bloemfontein.
Kick-off is at 17:00.
Du Toit announced his move to the Eastern Cape in a heartfelt Instagram post on Monday.
The Cheetahs open their 2019/20 season on Friday, September 27 against the Glasgow Warriors at home (18:05), while the Kings will host the Cardiff Blues on Saturday, September 28 at the Nelson Mandela Stadium (15:00).
