Career
Youth and Varsity Cup rugby
Luiters played for Border at the 2005 Under-13 Craven Week before joining Bloemfontein-based side the Free State Cheetahs. He represented them two youth tournaments – at Under-16 level at the 2008 Grant Khomo Week (which lead to his inclusion in the South African Under-16 Elite Squad) and at Under-18 level at the 2010 Craven Week (which lead to his inclusion in the South African Under-18 High Performance Squad).
He then played for the Free State U19 team in the 2010 Under-19 Currie Cup competition and for the Free State U21 team in the 2012 Under-21 Currie Cup and 2013 Under-21 Currie Cup competitions.
He also played some Varsity Cup rugby, representing the UFS Shimlas in the 2012 and 2013 competitions, scoring three tries in nine appearances.
Free State Cheetahs
He made his first class debut when he appeared as a substitute in the Free State Cheetahs' 2011 Vodacom Cup match against the Falcons[2] and also came on as a substitute against the Golden Lions in the same competition.[3] Two more appearances followed in the 2012 Vodacom Cup competition, including his first senior start in their match against the Eastern Province Kings.[4]
After making four more appearances for the Free State XV in the 2013 Vodacom Cup competition, he finally made his Currie Cup debut in the 2013 Currie Cup Premier Division match against the Natal Sharks[5] and scored his first senior try a week later when he dotted down in the 82nd minute.[6]
