Profile Overview

Having played the game from the age of 8 years old, my love for the game has been an instant addiction. From purchasing every book available to learning and studying playing styles and anthems of every rugby plaing nation. After deciding to pursue an educational career, I continued playing club rugby till the age of 32 (2024) and immdeiatley transtitioned into coaching, wanting to give back to the game for what the game has given me, discipline, respect and camaraderie.

I started my coaching journey at Young Eagles RFC in March 2024 as the backline and skills coach for the 1st XV. Having still played against and with some of the talent I was coaching, the transition was a good learning curve as the roles have now changed. I was exposed to a different beast, but being under pressure is where I thrive, always wanting to be better than the previous day. In February 2025 I was given the opportunity to become the backline and attack coach for Wesbank RFC U20s and this is really were I started growing into my own. Working with the youth from our prevously disadvantaged backgrounds it wasn't just about developing the rugby player, but also the human being. Teaching them the finer details of the game whilst also learninng them the interpersonal skills of what it will take to survive in a high pressure environment.

A few months on, a call came from Goodwood RFC U20s, seeking some assistance with their backline.

I'm currently in the role of backline and skills coach at Goodwood RFC U20s.
