Thomas du Toit is keeping his cards close to his chest regarding his status at the Sharks, amid ongoing reports linking him with a move to English Premiership club Bath.
Siya Kolisi, who joined the Sharks in 2021, has been granted an early release from his contract to join Racing 92 after the 2023 Rugby World Cup, which has increased speculation around fellow Springbok Du Toit’s future in Durban.
The 27-year-old has been linked with a switch to Bath at the end of this season.
Speaking during a Sharks conference on Wednesday in the build up to a Champions Cup rematch against Bordeaux in Durban, Du Toit addressed inquiries as to his plans post the 2022-23 campaign.

He told reporters: “I think it’s important that everyone here at the union focuses on what is happening right now.
“[Kolisi’s exit] is not something that has been spoken about a lot because our focus is on winning the URC, and hopefully the Champions Cup as well as; that’s our primary focus.
“The other stuff is really taking a back seat to what is important for us.
“Regards to my future, I haven’t signed anything so my contract just ends at the end of this season, so that’s all the information I can basically give you.
“There’s nothing that’s set in stone yet.”
