He then joined the Blue Bulls and played for their Under–21 team in 2010 and 2011.

He made his debut in the Currie Cup competition a few months later in 2011 against Griquas^[4] and made one further appearance that season. He established himself as a regular in the team for the 2012 Vodacom Cup, making eight starts and scoring a try.

Saracens

At the conclusion of the 2012 Vodacom Cup, he joined English side Saracens for one season, making two appearances in the 2012–13 LV Cup.^[5]
