Career
Youth
In 2005, he represented Western Province at the Under-18 Craven Week competition. He progressed through their age groups, representing them at Under-19 level in 2006 and at Under-21 level in 2007.
He was included in Western Province's squad for the 2007 Vodacom Cup[3] and made his first class debut in the opening match of the season, a 51–21 victory over the Border Bulldogs in Cape Town.[4] He made a total of five appearances during that competition, making his first start in the match against SWD Eagles, also scoring a try in that match.[5]
He got his first taste of Currie Cup action a few months later, coming on as a substitute in their 2007 Currie Cup Premier Division match against the Golden Lions.[6] He made three starts and three substitute appearances during that competition.
In 2008, he made yet another step up by being included in the Stormers squad for the 2008 Super 14 season. He was an unused substitute in their match against the Blues,[7] but did make his Super Rugby appearance as a late substitute in their next match against the Force in Perth.[8] However, he missed the rest of the season due to injury.[9]
He also made four appearances for university side Maties during the 2010 Varsity Cup tournament, ending second in the points scoring charts with 75 points.[12]
Along with fellow South African Lionel Cronjé, he then joined Canberra-based side Brumbies on a two-year deal prior to the 2014 Super Rugby season.[19] However, his stay in Canberra only lasted one season and he left after the 2014 season, having made just 4 appearances.
