Bath sign Leicester prop Van Wyk on two-year deal

Francois van Wyk has made 130 Premiership appearances so far in his career for Leicester and Northampton

Bath have signed prop Francois van Wyk on a two-year deal from Leicester Tigers from the 2024-25 campaign.

The loose-head previously spent four seasons with Northampton Saints, making 84 appearances, and played for Western Force in Australia.

"Francois will add to the power of our pack," said Bath head of rugby Johann van Graan.

"He's an experienced front row and experienced front rows are very valuable."

Van Wyk joins Leinster lock Ross Molony as the second new signing announced by the club this week for next season.
