Career[edit]

Youth[edit]

He represented the SWD Eagles at the 2008 Under-18 Academy Week and 2009 Under-18 Craven Week tournaments and was included in their Under-19 and Under-21 Provincial Championship squads in 2008 and 2009.

In 2010, he joined the Griffons and represented them at Under-19 and Under-21 level in 2010 and 2011 respectively.

Griffons[edit]

He made his first class debut in the 2011 Vodacom Cup competition for the Griffons, coming on as a substitute against the Sharks XV in a match played in Empangeni.[2] He made a further two substitute appearances for them in the remainder of that competition, but did not play in the Currie Cup tournament, turning out for the Under-21 team instead.

SWD Eagles[edit]

He returned to the SWD Eagles in 2012 and made his first senior start in the 2012 Vodacom Cup match against the Boland Cavaliers.[3] He also made his Currie Cup debut later that year against the Leopards.[4]
