Renaldo Bothma (born 18 September 1989) is a South African-born Namibian rugby union footballer. He plays mostly as a flanker. He represents the Template:Rut Bulls in Super Rugby and the Template:Rut Blue Bulls in the Currie Cup, having previously played for the Template:Rut Golden Lions, Template:Rut Leopards, Template:Rut Sharks and Template:Rut Pumas.
In 2013, he was included in a South Africa President's XV team that played in the 2013 IRB Tbilisi Cup[1] and won the tournament after winning all three matches.[2]
He initially joined the Template:Rut Sharks for the 2015 and 2016 Super Rugby seasons,[3] with a clause to return to the Pumas for the Currie Cup competition in those seasons.[4] However, due to his involvement with Namibia at the 2015 Rugby World Cup, he didn't play for the Pumas in the 2015 Currie Cup Premier Division. In March 2016, during the 2016 Super Rugby season, he gained an early released from his contract with the Sharks to join Pretoria-based Super Rugby side the Template:Rut Bulls.[5]
