Career
Blue Bulls / UP Tuks
He attended Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool in Pretoria and was selected to represent the Blue Bulls at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week competition in 2007. He joined the Blue Bulls Academy after high school and made eleven starts for the Blue Bulls U21 side as they won the 2011 Under-21 Provincial Championship.[2]
In 2012, he also made a single appearance for UP Tuks in the 2012 Varsity Cup competition.[3]
Falcons
He joined Kempton Park-based outfit Falcons for the 2014 Currie Cup qualification tournament, a competition which saw the winner clinch a spot in the 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division. He made his first class debut by coming on as a replacement in the Falcons' 54–40 victory over the Border Bulldogs[4] and made his first senior start two weeks later in a 25–40 defeat to eventual winners Griquas,[5] before also starting their match against the Griffons.[6]
The Falcons finished sixth in the qualification tournament to remain in the 2014 Currie Cup First Division. Engelbrecht was named in the Falcons squad for this tournament – where they eventually finished as runners-up – but failed to make any further appearances.
Sharks
In 2015, Engelbrecht was named in the Sharks squad for the 2015 Currie Cup Premier Division. He was named on the bench for their second match of the season against the Eastern Province Kings in Durban.[7]
