In 2009, he was included in the South Africa Under-20 team for the 2009 IRB Junior World Championship.

He had a short spell for Template:Rut Griquas during the 2011 Vodacom Cup tournament, but failed to make a first class appearance, despite twice being named on the bench. He was then included in the Template:Rut Western Province squad for the compulsory friendlies prior to the 2011 Currie Cup Premier Division season, but failed to break into the team.

He moved to Template:Rut SWD Eagles for the 2012 Currie Cup First Division season, starting all fourteen games that season.

At the start of 2013, he joined the Template:Rut Lions and was included in their squad for the 2013 Lions Challenge Series, as well as the Template:Rut Golden Lions' 2013 Vodacom Cup squad.
