Former Stormers wing Bjorn Basson is reportedly exploring the possibility of joining the Kings ahead of the 2018-19 Pro14 season.

Basson was recently released from French club Oyonnax, who he joined as a medical joker in December last year.

According to Netwerk24, the 31-year-old is in Port Elizabeth and there is a possibility he could join the Kings as they look to improve after a disappointing first season in the Pro14.

Basson played for the Bulls, who he had joined from Griquas, between 2011 and 2015, and played 11 Tests for the Springboks, with his last international appearance in 2013.
