Sale Sharks have confirmed that back-rower Jean-Luc du Preez is to leave at the end of the season to “pursue an opportunity abroad”.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 29-year-old South Africa international joined the Premiership side, where older brother Robert already played, on a permanent deal in July 2019 alongside his twin Dan.<\/p>\n

Sale director of rugby Alex Sanderson previously told TNT Sport that the player would be joining French side Bordeaux.<\/p>\n
“Sale is a special place. A place where I am excited to go in and see the boys every day. A place that has given me and my family so much and most importantly, a place I now call home,” Du Preez told the club website., external<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n “I will genuinely miss the club and the people that have helped me grow on and off the field, I am grateful to everyone.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
