For the 2011 Currie Cup Premier Division season, he joined the Leopards, where he quickly established himself as a first team regular.
He joined Nelspruit-based side Pumas for 2015.[3]
Representative rugby
He was selected for the S.A. Barbarians (North) team against England that toured South Africa as part of the 2012 mid-year rugby test series.
He played Varsity Cup rugby for the NWU Pukke in 2013, which led to his inclusion in the 2013 S.A. Universities team.[4]
Later in 2013, he was included in a South Africa President's XV team to play in the 2013 IRB Tbilisi Cup,[5] but later withdrew due to a knee injury.[6]
