Career

[edit]

After representing the Border Bulldogs at Under–21 level, he made his first class debut for them in the 2002 Currie Cup competition and remained there for two seasons.

In 2004, he moved to Griquas, where he spent the next five seasons, making a total of 97 appearances. During this time, he was also included in the Cheetahs Super Rugby squad for their inaugural season in the competition in 2006. He was also included in the South Africa Sevens squad for the 2004–05 South Africa IRB Sevens World Series, playing in four tournaments, as well as the 2005 Rugby World Cup Sevens.

He then continued his playing career in Italy, where he spent four seasons, playing for Venezia, Viadana and Aironi, returning in 2008 for a short spell with Griquas and the following season for a short spell with the Border Bulldogs. [2]

He made a permanent return to South African rugby in 2012, when he joined the Border Bulldogs for the third time.[3]
