"Hopefully I can add some experience and energy to an already well-established and talented side and hopefully we can start pushing towards European and Premiership success.

"I am 100 percent focused on what I want to achieve on the field next season and can't wait to get started."

After sustaining a pre-season knee injury, De Jongh has recovered and is part of the South Africa 'A' team that will face the French Barbarians in June.
