Coetzee penned a three-year deal and returns to South Africa after five seasons with Irish club where he quickly became a fan favourite and mainstay in the starting line-up.

“Generally, when a player gets up and announces he is leaving, it’s kind of a stoned silence and then you move on with the meeting. But he got a seriously big round of applause, which I thought was a lovely touch,” Madigan revealed in an interview.

“It was also a measure of the man he is and the respect that he had within the group.”
