"We really feel that Kat can and will fulfil his potential here at Finn Park and he has a strong desire and enthusiasm to be a part of the club and sees this as a solid opportunity to progress his career with us. 

"Kat also has ambitions to get back into the South African international set up and we will make sure he gets the arena and environment and the support of the Blue and White Army to help him achieve his goals.”
