Ospreys have signed South African wing Daniel Kasende on a permanent basis from Toyota Cheetahs.

Kasende spent a short stint with the Welsh club last season and will join full-time from October.

Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kasende played his first game for the Cheetahs against Western Province in 2021.

The 29-year-old was also part of the Cheetahs side that won the Currie Cup in 2023.

"Even from the brief time I spent at the club, it was easy to see there’s a great setup there, with quality coaches and players," said Kasende.

“I enjoyed my time at the club last season and I’m looking forward to joining up with the boys again and pushing on.”
