Lionel Cronjé (born 25 May 1989) is a South African rugby union footballer, currently playing for Japanese Top League side Toyota Verblitz. He is a versatile back-line player who can operate as a fly-half or full-back.

Career

Cronjé previously played for the Stormers and Western Province before making the move north ahead of the 2012 Super Rugby season.[1] He could play only five matches for the Blue Bulls due to a chest injury suffered in February 2012.[2]

He joined the Template:Rut Lions for 2013[3] and the Template:Rut Brumbies for 2014.[4]

He returned to South Africa later in 2014, signing a two-year deal with Durban-based side the Template:Rut Sharks (Currie Cup).[5] He was released by the Sharks in November 2015.[6]

He joined Japanese Top League side Toyota Verblitz for the 2017–18 season.[7]
