Kolisi outlined why he has decided to make the move with a post on social media.
“The move to Racing 92 will allow me to spend more time with my family, which is something that I have longed for, and this prospect certainly played a significant part in my decision-making,” Kolisi said.
“Not many athletes get the chance to write the chapters of their respective stories, and I view this new challenge in France as an opportunity to do this.”
“The signing of Siya Kolisi confirms Racing 92′s intentions,” said Racing president Jacky Lorenzetti.
“His profound culture of winning and his natural leadership render him a significant player and a profoundly good man.”
