Juandre Kruger has scored three tries in his 43 appearances for Saints

Northampton Saints lock Juandre Kruger has targeted three trophies before leaving Franklin's Gardens to rejoin Bulls at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old wants Premiership, LV= Cup and European success before returning home to South Africa in a bid to make it into the national team.

"It was a tough decision," he said, "with Saints improving every week.

"It's a career decision, I want to play international rugby. But the three cups would be the best leaving present."

Kruger, who joined Northampton in 2008, has been a regular in Jim Mallinder's team.

"Credit to the coaches who've helped me in my decision-making and forward play," said Kruger.

"They develop players very well at Northampton."
