Du Toit will officially join the team once the 2023 Rugby World Cup ends and he comes back from playing for South Africa. In October 2023, he made his league debut in a 34–16 victory over Newcastle Red Bulls. In the following game, he scored his first try for the club in a 25–16 victory against Saracens . In December 2023, he scored his first try for the club in the Champions Cup during a 37–14 victory against Ulster. Following an impressive season he was named in the Premiership Rugby Team of the Season for the 2023–24 campaign.

In January 2025, he scored two tries in the Champions Cup during a 40–21 victory against Clermont Auvergne. In June 2025, he was named in the Premiership team of the Season for a second consecutive year. That same month, he scored a try in his second consecutive Premiership final, this time a 23–21 victory over Leicester Tigers.
