Career[edit]

Youth[edit]

He played for the Eastern Province Kings at youth level, from the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week in 2007 to the 2012 Under-21 Provincial Championship. He was banned for three months in 2012 after testing positive for banned substance methylhexanamine.[2]

Senior career[edit]

He was included in the senior squad for the 2013 Vodacom Cup, but failed to play any matches. He was also included in the squad for the 2013 Currie Cup First Division and was named on the bench for their match against the Leopards.[3] He came on as a half-time substitute to make his first class debut.[4]

However, that was his only appearance for the Eastern Province Kings. In 2014, he was included in the Despatch side that participated in the 2014 SARU Community Cup.[5]
