Reinach finally returned to action in the Sharks' 28-26 loss to Reds on Friday - having missed the better part of the 2016 season due to a knee injury. After a solid preseason in Durban, Reinach renewed his half-back partnership with Pat Lambie.

It looks as if his impending move to Saints at the end of the season was a foregone conclusion before Super Rugby kicked off with the official confirmation coming from the UK club's website on Monday.

The Springbok scrumhalf, with 9 Test caps to his name, will see out the full Super Rugby season with the Durban outfit before he links up with the Saints.

He will join fellow South African scrumhalf Nick Groom at Franklin's Gardens.
