His performances in the 2014 Varsity Cup also earned him an inclusion in the Template:Rut Eastern Province Kings squad for the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition.[8] He was named in their starting line-up for their match against the Template:Rut SWD Eagles in George, making his first class debut in a 23–21 loss.[9] He retained his spot in the starting line-up for their next match against Template:Rut Boland Cavaliers, where he scored his first senior try.[10]
In June 2014, he was selected in the starting line-up for the Template:Rut Eastern Province Kings side to face Wales during a tour match during a 2014 incoming tour. He played the entire match as the Kings suffered a 12–34 defeat.[11]
