Steytler was born in São Paulo, Brazil, but was raised in Pretoria, South Africa, attending Pretoria Boys High School.[1] He made his first-class debut for North Eastern Transvaal[a] in December 1968, in a Currie Cup game against Western Province. He played another three Currie Cup matches the following season, but none at all over the two subsequent seasons.[2] Returning to the Northern Transvaal line-up for the 1972–73 season, Steytler took a maiden first-class five-wicket haul, 5/79 against Griqualand West.[3] He also made his first limited-overs appearances, although with little success.[4] After the 1974–75 season, where Steytler made only two appearances for Northern Transvaal, he did not reappear until the 1977–78 season.[2] Against Transvaal B in what was to be his final first-class appearance, he took a career-best 5/71, including the wicket of future South African international Ray Jennings.[5] Steytler's final match for Northern Transvaal was a limited-overs game against Transvaal in October 1978.[4]
