Du Preez joined the Munster squad on a short term contract last November in place of the injured Marcus Horan.  His time in the Munster jersey came to an end in the final Heineken Cup pool game against Northampton Saints in Thomond Park.

The player now re-joins Munster on a two year contract, making the move from South African club Cheetahs.  The highly regarded and popular player will be a very valuable addition to the Munster squad in the run up to, and throughout the World Cup.
