Career
Horn represented the Template:Rut UFS Shimlas in the Varsity Cup between 2010 and 2012 and he also played Currie Cup First Division rugby for the Template:Rut Griffons during this time. He moved west to join Template:Rut Griquas ahead of the 2013 Vodacom Cup season making his debut against the Template:Rut Blue Bulls on 9 March 2013[1] and made five appearances, but was not retained for the 2013 Currie Cup Premier Division.[2][3][4]
He then had a short spell at Italian side Viadana, making twelve appearances in the 2013–14 National Championship of Excellence and European Challenge Cup competitions, before returning to South Africa to play for the Template:Rut Free State Cheetahs in the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition.[5]
However, his return to South Africa was short-lived and he moved to French Fédérale 1 side Soyaux Angoulème XV Charente prior to the 2014–15 season.
In September 2015, he signed with Aviron Bayonnais for the 2015-2016 season, replacing Mark Chisholm.[6] He will make his first appearance in Rugby Pro D2.
