Personal Overview

I’m a young humble, respectful and passionate young man. I’m truly the definition of a hard worker on and off the field.

 

Some of the strengths of my game is my communication, hard defense, footwork/evasive running, no-giving-up attitude and attack/running lines to name a few. One of my career highlights would be making the TUT Varsity Shield squad at the age of 21, earning my first Varsity Cup caps that same year and eventually playing Varsity Shield until 2020, which i was co-captain of the team in 2020. I was also lucky to have been part of TUT Vikings XV for club tournaments and also USSA 15s & TUT 7s. I was fortunate enough to play a couple of regional 7s tournaments for Blue Bulls 7s. Throughout the whole time, I am proud to say I was able to obtain my Diploma & BTech in Sport Science. With these being some of my highlights, I credit it all to my tenacity and hard work amongst other things. 

 

I honestly believe, given the opportunity to play overseas I’ll be a great addition to any club, as I will uphold the values and ethics of that club and also contribute.
