Career

Youth

Annandale played high school rugby for Hoërskool Brandwag in Benoni, also captaining the side in 2007.[2] He was also included in a few youth provincial tournaments; he played for the Template:Rut Falcons' Under-16 side at the Grant Khomo Week in 2005 and for their Under-18 side at the 2006 Academy Week and 2007 Craven Week tournaments. He was also included in the Template:Rut Falcons U19 squads that participated in the 2006 and 2007 Under-19 Provincial Championship competitions.

In 2008, he moved to Bloemfontein to attend the Central University of Technology[3] where he represented the Template:Rut Free State U19 side in the 2008 Under-19 Provincial Championship.

Falcons

He made his first class debut in 2009, playing for the Template:Rut Falcons in the 2009 Vodacom Cup competition, starting in their 65–12 opening day defeat against Template:Rut Griquas in Kimberley[4] and made a total of five appearances for the Template:Rut Falcons during the competition.

Griffons / CUT Ixias

However, he continued his rugby career in the Free State. He played for Welkom-based side the Template:Rut Griffons during the 2010 Vodacom Cup competition, making three appearances. He also played for the Template:Rut Free State U21 side in the Under-21 Provincial Championship in the latter half of the season. He was included in university side Template:Rut CUT Ixias' squad for the 2011 Varsity Shield competition, but failed to make any appearances, but (after appearing in a compulsory friendly match for the Template:Rut Griffons against the Template:Rut Blue Bulls)[5] made his Currie Cup debut later in 2011. He started in their first match of the season against his former side the Template:Rut Falcons in Kempton Park and marked the occasion by also scoring his first senior try by opening the scoring for the Griffons in the 17th minute of the match.[6] He made a total of eleven appearances in the competition, starting six of those and helping the Griffons reach the semi-finals.

Annandale played his first Varsity Shield campaign in 2012 with Template:Rut CUT Ixias, helping them top the log after the round-robin stages, but ultimately falling short by losing to Template:Rut Wits in the final.[7] Annandale played in all nine of their matches during the competition and scored four tries. He then played in the remainder of the Template:Rut Griffons' 2012 Vodacom Cup season, making three appearances, and played in a further nine matches during the 2012 Currie Cup First Division season.

Golden Lions

He returned to Gauteng prior to the 2013 season by joining the Template:Rut Golden Lions as they recruited a number of youth players following the Template:Rut Lions' omission from the 2013 Super Rugby season.[8] He made three appearances for them during 2013 Vodacom Cup, a competition they eventually won. Annandale played in two matches during the round-robin stages and also played off the bench in their semi-final victory over Template:Rut Western Province.[9]

Leopards

He was included in the Template:Rut Golden Lions squad for the 2013 Currie Cup Premier Division season,[10] he was never included in a matchday squad. Instead, he made one single appearance on loan to Potchefstroom-based side the Template:Rut Leopards in the 2013 Currie Cup First Division, playing off the bench in their match against the Template:Rut Border Bulldogs.[11]

Boland Cavaliers

He was on the move again in 2014 as he joined Wellington-based side Template:Rut Boland Cavaliers for the 2014 Currie Cup qualification tournament.[12] He made his debut for them against his old side the Template:Rut Griffons in a 27–25 defeat.[13]
