Sharks flank off to Japan
According to a tweet from @InTouchSports Coetzee will play for the Honda Heat club in Japan.
The 24-year-old's contract will be from November 1 until January 31 before going back to 2016 Super Rugby.
It has been reported that Coetzee will then return to the Shark tank ahead of 2016.
However Both the Sharks and In Touch have not exactly confirmed that - as his contract expires end of this year.
There are unconfirmed reports that the DHL Stormers and the Western Province have made the player a big offer.
Coetzee joins several South Africans in moving to Japan after JJ Engelbrecht and Andries Ferreira have also been confirmed to be joining Shokki Shuttles end of this year.
