Playing career edit
He started playing youth rugby for Western Province, first playing for the Under-16 team at the 2004 Grant Khomo Week. He also represented them at Under-18 level for the next two seasons, which led to him being included in the S.A. Schools squad in 2006.
He played for Western Province's Under-19 and Under-21 teams over the next three seasons and also played for the national team during this time - he represented the South Africa Under-19 team at the 2007 Under 19 Rugby World Championship and the South Africa Under-20 team at the inaugural IRB Junior World Championship in 2008.
He was included in Western Province's squad for the 2009 Vodacom Cup, but failed to play any games, instead playing Varsity Cup rugby for Maties, who won the tournament that season.
He made his first class debut in the 2010 Vodacom Cup for Western Province's near neighbours Boland Cavaliers against Argentinean side Pampas XV.[2]
He played Varsity Cup rugby again in 2011, this time for Pretoria-based UP Tuks and he made his Currie Cup debut in the 2011 Currie Cup Premier Division for the Leopards against the Pumas.[3]
After just one season with the Leopards, he returned to his home town of George to play for SWD Eagles in the 2012 Vodacom Cup.
Durbanville-Bellville edit
In 2015, he played for Western Province club side Durbanville-Bellville and was a member of the squad that won the 2015 SARU Community Cup competition, making seven appearances in the competition.[4]
