South Africa prop Thomas du Toit is to leave Bath at the end of the season, the club has confirmed.

The 30-year-old joined the Premiership leaders from South African side The Sharks in 2023 and was a pivotal member of Johann van Graan's treble-winning 2025-26 season.

He has scored 21 tries in 52 appearances for the West Country outfit, and last year was nominated for Premiership player of the season.

Du Toit will return to The Sharks when his contract expires next summer.

There he will reunite with the club whose academy he progressed through before making his senior debut in 2014.

Du Toit has played for his national team 30 times, winning his first Test cap against Wales in 2018.

He went on to win the 2019 Rugby World Cup with South Africa and the 2025 Rugby Championship.
