Career
Youth
He played for the Leopards in the 1998 Under-13 Craven Week and progressed through the ranks, representing them at all youth levels up until 2006, when he played in the 2006 Under-21 Provincial Championship competition.
Leopards
In 2006, he was included in the senior squad for the 2006 Vodacom Cup competition and made his debut in the final game of the season against Griquas.[2] He made 17 appearances in total for them in 2006 and 2007, but failed to establish himself and reverted to playing Varsity Cup rugby with his university side NWU Pukke in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Griffons
In 2011, he moved to Welkom to join the Griffons and immediately established himself as their first choice scrum-half, playing in all eight matches in the 2011 Vodacom Cup season.
Representative rugby
In 2012, he was selected for the S.A. Barbarians (North) team against England that toured South Africa as part of the 2012 mid-year rugby test series.[3]
