JP Pietersen Signs For Toulon

French TOP14 finalists Toulon have announced the signing of JP Pietersen from Leicester Tigers on a two-year deal.

The 70-test cap Bok winger joined Leicester last year and made 14 starts in the 2016/17 campaign, scoring three tries.

Leicester Tigers confirmed on Tuesday that they had released Pietersen, Tigers chief executive Simon Cohen commented.

''We are grateful for the contribution that JP Pietersen has made in his time here. His departure allows Matt O'Connor a sum within the salary cap for next year, and the year after, to sign players that fit his vision for the squad and match his playing philosophy for the Tigers''.
