Juandre Kruger has confirmed that he will be leaving Toulon to return to the Vodacom Bulls in December ahead of the next season.

Kruger, who played for the Bulls between 2008 and 2013, will make his return to Loftus Versfeld after spending the last six years in France. He will link up with the squad in December before the next Vodacom Super Rugby season.

The 33-year-old lock joined Racing 92 in 2013 before moving to Toulon in 2016.

Kruger made his Springbok debut in 2012, winning 17 Test caps, with his last appearance against the All Blacks in 2013.
