Overview
- The move follows surgeries to locks Salmaan Moerat and Ruben van Heerden, leaving Adré Smith, JD Schickerling and Connor Evans as the only recognised options in the second row.
- Coach John Dobson plans an internal reshuffle with Ben-Jason Dixon shifting to No. 4 lock and Dayimani reinforcing the loose trio.
- Dayimani has signed through the end of the season on a reported five‑month contract to provide immediate cover.
- He returns after 19 appearances and three tries for Racing 92, having decided not to extend his deal in France.
- Reports indicate interest from Top 14 and Japan Rugby League One clubs that could make his return a temporary stopgap.
