Ofentse Arthur Boloko (born 12 May 1992 in Pretoria, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player.[1] His regular position is winger.
Career
Youth
Boloko earned his first provincial colours in 2005 when he was selected to represent Border at the Under-13 Craven Week competition. In 2008, he once again represented Border at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week competition, which also resulted in him being included in a South African Under-16 Elite Squad.[2] He also played for them at the premier school tournament in South Africa, the Craven Week in both 2009 and 2010.
He then moved to Durban to join the Natal Sharks Academy prior to the 2011 season. During his spell there, he made three appearances for the Sharks U19 side during the 2011 Under-19 Provincial Championship.
Eastern Province Kings
In 2012, he was on the move again; he returned to the Eastern Cape, this time to Port Elizabeth to join the Eastern Province Kings. He appeared for the Eastern Province U21 side during the 2012 and 2013 Under-21 Provincial Championships.
In 2013, he was named in the Eastern Province Kings' squad for the 2013 Vodacom Cup, but failed to make an appearance. His first class debut came a year later during the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition. He started their match against the SWD Eagles in George, but could not prevent his side suffering a 21–23 loss.[3] He did finish on the winning side the following week in his second and final appearance for the Kings in a 28–21 win against the Boland Cavaliers.[4]
He was released by the Kings when his contract expired at the end of 2014.[5]
