Frans Steyn could be lining out for the Cheetahs in 2020. It has been reported in South Africa that Steyn is relocating to Bloemfontein when his contract expires for Montpellier.

The 31 year old utility back has been playing for Montpellier in the Top 14 since 2016, his second stint in France after playing for Racing from 2009 to 2012. SARugbymag has reported that Steyn has purchased a home in the Free State, with the aim of returning to South Africa when his contract expires next year.

While there is no concrete negotiations yet, the powers that be at the Cheetahs are very interested in the big centre’s impending return, and Steyn has always harboured hopes of returning to Bloemfontein, and finishing his career in Cheetahs colours. Steyn turns 32 this year, so there is every chance we could see him playing in the Pro14 in 2020.

Rumours have also been circulating about Ruan Pienaar‘s future.
