Career[edit]
Youth[edit]
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, Frylinck started out his rugby career at Sweet Valley Primary School in Bergvliet and moved on to play for Wynberg Boys' High. In 2013, he was part of the Emerging Western Province squad.[2] Frylinck was named in the Western Province U21 squad, but failed to make an appearance. He also played club rugby for UCT Ikey Tigers, although he never played in the Varsity Cup competition.
Western Province / Stormers[edit]
Frylinck's senior début came during the 2014 Vodacom Cup when he came off the bench in Western Province's traditional season opening match against the Boland Cavaliers.[3] With first choice scrum-half Godlen Masimla picking up an injury during the match, Frylinck was then promoted to the starting line-up, playing in their matches against the Sharks XV,[4] the Eastern Province Kings,[5] the Border Bulldogs[6] and the quarter-final match against the Pumas.[7]
Following an injury to Louis Schreuder during the 2014 Super Rugby season (and with Godlen Masimla still out), Frylinck was drafted into the Stormers squad for their match against the Bulls in Pretoria.[8][9]
Pumas[edit]
Frylinck then made the move to Nelspruit to join the Pumas for the 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division season.[10] He made seven appearances for the side, but was released at the end of the 2014 season.[11]
Eastern Province Kings[edit]
In January 2015, Frylinck had a trial spell with Port Elizabeth-based side the Eastern Province Kings prior to the 2015 season.[12] Following the trial, he was offered a contract for the duration of the 2015 Vodacom Cup competition.[13] He made three appearances off the bench during the Vodacom Cup competition and scored a try for them in their 44–10 victory over the Boland Cavaliers.[14]
Griquas[edit]
Following an injury to Griquas' replacement scrum-half Rudi van Rooyen during the 2015 Currie Cup Premier Division, Frylinck was drafted into side as a replacement, signing a contract with the Kimberley-based side for the duration of the competition.[15]
