Rugby career

He played for Border Bulldogs in various youth tournaments between 2005 and 2010. His performances lead to him being included in the South Africa Under–16 Elite squad in 2008, the Under–18 High Performance squads in 2009 and 2010 and the S.A. Schools squad in 2009.

He then joined the Blue Bulls academy, playing for them at Under–19 level in 2011 and Under–21 level in 2012.

In 2013, he joined the Eastern Province Kings. He was included in the 2013 Vodacom Cup squad, where he was an unused substitute against the Pampas XV, but made his debut against Free State XV.

Personal life

He is the older brother of Somila Jho, who also played first class rugby for the Eastern Province Kings. On 14 May 2016, the two brothers played together in a first class match for the first time when they were named as the starting centre-pairing for their 2016 Currie Cup qualification defeat to Western Province in Cape Town. Andile scored his first senior try in this match in a 10–50 defeat.
