The club can confirm that Johannes Jonker, Juan Schoeman, Keiran Verden, and Max Wright will be leaving Bath Rugby at the end of this 2023/24 season.
Verden departs the Blue, Black and White, after eight years having risen through the Beechen Cliff pathway into the club’s Senior Academy and then the First Team.
The prop’s Premiership debut came during the 2019/20 season against Worcester Warriors, and he has since gone on to make 16 appearances in the famous jersey.
With 40 caps to his name earned over a seven-year period at Bath, Wright joined the club in October 2017 having graduated from the Yorkshire Carnegie setup before going on to make his league debut against Northampton Saints.
The centre made his first European start in the same campaign and played a key role in helping England Under-20s win the Six Nations Grand Slam in 2017.
The South African front row pairing of Schoeman and Jonker joined Bath in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Schoeman arrived from Durban-based outfit The Sharks having also played for the Blue Bulls, making his first Premiership appearance for Bath against Worcester Warriors. He is currently standing at 62 appearances for the club, most recently coming off the bench during the Round 18 win against Northampton Saints.
Former Border Bulldogs, Lions, and Montpellier prop Jonker signed from Ealing Trailfinders and debuted on the opening day of the 2021/22 Premiership season against Sale Sharks, the same game in which Schoeman scored his first Bath Rugby try. Jonker has gone on to represent the club 27 times.
Reflecting on his time at the club, Verden, whose Bath Rugby player legacy number is #2887 said: “I just want to say a massive thank you to the fans, staff, and all the players at Bath Rugby. I’ve absolutely loved my time at the club and having the opportunity to represent this city. To all the players I’ve played with, it’s been a pleasure and I’ll miss every one of you. Bath will always hold a special place in my heart. Plenty of work left to be done to finish where we want to and I’m proud to be a part of that.”
Wright, holding player legacy number #2859, looked back on his time playing centre for the club with fondness. He said: “I’ve been lucky enough to call Bath my home for the last seven years. I’ve had some amazing memories and made some lifelong friends. I’ll remain a Bath fan for life.”
With player legacy number #2886, Schoeman spoke of his affinity for those who have helped him on his journey at Bath. He said: “I’m eternally grateful to have been afforded the opportunity to wear the Blue, Black and White jersey and everyone and everything it resembles in the highs and lows with the support of family and friends, coaches who believed in me and helped me grow as a human being and as a rugby player. Also for the management and staff who helped me return to, and maintain form on, the rugby pitch, and for the unwavering support of the fans.”
Jonker, whose Bath Rugby player legacy number is #2898, paid tribute to the club and those closest to him. He said: “As I say goodbye to Bath Rugby, I want to express my gratitude to everyone involved. Playing alongside such talented teammates and having the support of our amazing supporters has been a true honour. Thank you to all the coaches and staff that have helped me along the way. Special thanks to my wife, Kirsty, for her unwavering support and love throughout this journey. These experiences have made me a stronger and better person. Thank you for everything. Bath Rugby will always hold a special place in my heart. I wish the club well for the future.”
Head of Rugby Johann van Graan highlighted the contributions all four players have made during their time spent with the Blue, Black and White.
“All four of these gentlemen have very unique personalities and will be missed around the group. They were very good team men, and we wish them all the very best in the next steps of their journey.”

As businesses and homeowners in the Gold Coast increasingly look towards sustainable energy solutions, solar power has emerged as a front-runner. But beyond the environmental benefits, there are significant long-term financial advantages to consider. This blog will explore the numerous financial benefits of Solar Installation in Gold Coast, with insights from Jack Cliff Electrical.
1. Reduction in Energy Bills
One of the most immediate and noticeable benefits of solar installation is the reduction in energy bills. By generating your own electricity, you rely less on the grid, which translates to lower monthly utility costs. For businesses, this can mean substantial savings, freeing up capital for other investments.
Jack Cliff Electrical offers customised solar solutions that maximise your energy production, ensuring you get the most out of your solar panels.
2. Return on Investment (ROI)
Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25-30 years, and the initial investment can often be recouped within 5-7 years through energy savings and government incentives. This means that for the majority of the system's lifespan, the electricity generated is essentially free, providing a high return on investment.
By partnering with Jack Cliff Electrical, you can ensure that your solar system is optimised for maximum efficiency, accelerating your ROI.
3. Government Incentives and Rebates
The Australian government offers various incentives to encourage the adoption of solar energy. These include rebates, tax credits, and feed-in tariffs, which can significantly offset the initial cost of solar installation. Businesses in particular can benefit from additional tax deductions.
Jack Cliff Electrical stays updated on the latest incentives and will help you navigate these opportunities to maximise your savings.

4. Increased Property Value
Properties equipped with solar panels often see an increase in market value. Potential buyers recognize the benefits of reduced energy costs and the positive environmental impact, making solar-equipped homes and commercial buildings more attractive.
By investing in Solar Installation in Gold Coast with Jack Cliff Electrical, you not only save on energy costs but also enhance the resale value of your property.
5. Energy Independence and Stability
Relying on solar energy reduces your dependence on the fluctuating prices of traditional energy sources. This energy stability allows for better financial planning and shields you from unexpected spikes in energy costs.
Jack Cliff Electrical ensures that your solar installation is reliable and efficient, providing you with a steady and predictable energy source.
6. Maintenance Savings
Solar panels require minimal maintenance compared to other energy systems. Routine checks and occasional cleaning are usually sufficient to keep them running efficiently. This low maintenance aspect means fewer operational costs over the lifetime of the system.
Jack Cliff Electrical offers comprehensive maintenance services to keep your system running smoothly and efficiently, further reducing long-term costs.
7. Environmental and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
While not a direct financial benefit, businesses that adopt solar energy can enhance their corporate social responsibility profile. This positive image can attract environmentally conscious customers and partners, leading to potential business growth and opportunities.
Jack Cliff Electrical can help businesses in Gold Coast showcase their commitment to sustainability through effective solar solutions.
Conclusion
Investing in Solar Installation in Gold Coast with Jack Cliff Electrical offers numerous long-term financial benefits.
