Toulon have confirmed the signing of South African-born England-capped lock David Ribbans on a three-year contract.
English-qualified lock David Ribbans joined Saints from South African outfit Western Province in January 2017, making his debut against arch rivals Leicester Tigers shortly after.
After making 18 appearances for Saints and scoring three tries during the 2017/18 season, Ribbans really kicked on in Chris Boyd’s first season in charge of Northampton and played 22 matches in all competitions – starting 19 and crossing the whitewash four times along the way.
