Personal Overview

Positions played - Flyhalf, Centre, Fullback

 

I was born in Pretoria in 1996 but I grew up in East London South Africa where I represented the Border Bulldogs at the of South Africa's provincial schoolboy rugby competitions. After school in 2015, I moved to Port Elizabeth where I joined the Eastern Province Kings academy. I played in various competitions throughout my career at the Kings, such as the U19-U21 Currie Cup, Senior Currie Cup Qualifiers, Senior First Division Currie Cup and Senior Supersport Challenge cup. In 2016, I was included in the South Africa U20 National squad, but was released two weeks before the U20 World Championship due to injury. In 2017, I was sent out on loan to Valorugby Emilia in Italy, where I played in the Super 10 championship (formerly known as the Eccellenza Championship. Due to financial reasons, my contract at the Kings acady came to an end at the end of 2017 and I joined the University of Cape Town in 2018. During my time at UCT, I played in the FNB Varsity Cup. Because of an age gap on this competition, I could not play Varsity Cup after 2021 anymore. I am currently in Doha, Qatar, working as an English teacher and playing rugby for Doha Rugby Football Club.

 

My strengths: 

Strong passer, both sides

Strong ball carrier

Great decision maker

Accurate goal kicker

 

I would love to join a professional or semi professional club, anywhere in the world as I believe that I still have a lot of rugby left to play.
