Siya Kolisi Returns to Sharks After Leaving Racing 92

South Africa captain Siya Kolisi has ended his contract with French club Racing 92 two years early and will return to the Sharks in Durban. Kolisi, who joined Racing 92 on a three-year deal after his second Rugby World Cup win, struggled with form and injuries, and felt he could not fully commit to the club due to his international duties. Racing 92 and Kolisi mutually agreed to terminate the contract, citing his desire to focus on his physical health and family, who felt homesick in France. Kolisi expressed gratitude to Racing 92 and excitement about rejoining the Sharks in Durban for the 2024-2025 season. This move follows a busy summer for Racing 92, who have added high-profile players like Owen Farrell to their squad. Kolisi continues to play a pivotal role for the Springboks in the Rugby Championship, with South Africa recently defeating New Zealand 18-12.
