Herschel Jantjies, Stormers' Springbok halfback, will be releasing from his contract early to play in France for Bayonne. Despite being under contract until June 2026, Jantjies has been granted an early release to pursue this opportunity. Stormers management is proud of Jantjies' achievements and wish him the best for his new venture.
Herschel Jantjies will be released from his contract at the end of the current season to take up an offer to play in France.
John Dobson said that having walked a long road with Jantjies, the Stormers were never going to stand in his way and expect to see him return to finish his career in Cape Town as so many before him have. “As we have seen with many of our stalwarts in the past, the plan is for Herschel to come back and finish his career in the blue and white jersey,” he said.
“We have got some incredibly talented young scrumhalves in Imad Khan and Asad Moos who have both come through our system and we would love to see them emulate Herschel’s achievements.
