He was first named in a Template:Rut Blue Bulls squad during the 2006 Vodacom Cup. He made his Currie Cup debut the following season, coming on as a 72nd-minute substitute against Template:Rut Boland Cavaliers.[2] A year later, he was also included in Template:Rut Bulls squad for the 2008 Super 14 season, making his debut in Rotorua against the Template:Rut Chiefs.[3]

Lions

He joined the Template:Rut Lions for the 2011 Super Rugby season, where he started in 14 games.[4] He also played Currie Cup rugby for the Template:Rut Golden Lions, where he was also a member of the starting line-up which defeated the Template:Rut Sharks (Currie Cup) 42–16 to win the 2011 Currie Cup Premier Division. He was injured for the entire 2012 Super Rugby season, but did play some Currie Cup rugby at the end of the season.
