He joined the Newcastle Falcons Academy as a teenager, following his brother Tim Visser. After moving from the Netherlands (where he played for RC Hilversum) to England, he joined the Newcastle Falcons Academy and went on to represent the Falcons in the Middlesex Sevens in 2007. He remained at Kingston Park until 2009, then he joined Tynedale RFC.[1]
He was successful at Tynedale RFC having scored 23 tries in 29 games in the 2010-2011 season for the Northumberland club.[1]
On 1 July 2011 it was confirmed that Visser had agreed a professional contract with Edinburgh Rugby for the 2011-12 season. Sep will join his brother Tim, who was the top scorer in the 2010-11 Magners League, although is initially dual-registered with Boroughmuir RFC.[1]
Sep Visser's history with rugby comes from very early ages, because his father, Marc Visser, represented the Netherlands in many international matches. Sep, unlike his brother Tim who intends to represent Scotland, followed his fathers steps and was also capped for the Netherlands at international level (both in full international games and Rugby Sevens) therefore, he is not eligible to play for any other nation.
