Career
Youth and Varsity rugby

He made his first class debut for the Leopards in the 2011 Vodacom Cup competition, starting in their match against Pampas XV and also scoring a 60th minute try.[2] That was his only senior appearance for the Leopards.
Border Bulldogs
In 2012, he moved to East London to join the Border Bulldogs. He made three appearances, scoring two tries in the 2012 Currie Cup First Division. He was also a regular in the 2013 Vodacom Cup, scoring four tries in his seven appearances, making him the Bulldogs' top try scorer in that competition.[3]
He picked up an injury prior to the 2013 IRB Tbilisi Cup (see below), which ruled him out for the entire 2013 Currie Cup First Division competition.[4]
At the end of 2013, he was involved in a serious car accident that saw him sustain burn injuries and saw him admitted to hospital in a serious condition.[5]
