Shaun Harold Venter (born 16 March 1987 in Witbank) is a South African rugby union footballer. He represents the Cheetahs in Super Rugby.[1][2] He is a utility back, having started matches at full-back, centre, winger and scrum-half, but since 2011 he has been predominantly used as a scrum-half.

Career

Pumas

He started his career playing for the Pumas, making more than a hundred appearances for them between 2007 and 2013. After playing for them at Under-19 and Under-21 level, he made his debut in the 2007 Vodacom Cup competition.

Kings

He joined the Kings for the 2013 Super Rugby season on a loan deal from the Pumas.[3][4] He immediately established himself as the starting scrum-half for the Kings, making his Super Rugby debut in the first ever Super Rugby match, a 22–10 victory against the Force.[5] He played in all sixteen of the Kings' matches that season, thirteen starts and three appreances as a substitute. He scored an early try in their match against the Rebels in Melbourne[6] to help them to a 30–27 victory and also scored the fourth try in their home match against the Highlanders,[7] which meant the Kings achieved their first victory in the competition with an added try bonus point. He also played in both 2013 Super Rugby promotion/relegation matches against the Lions, failing to help the Kings retain their Super Rugby status.

Cheetahs

He signed a two-year contract with the Cheetahs from 1 November 2013.[8] He was included in the Cheetahs squad for the 2014 Super Rugby season[9] and made his debut in a 21–20 defeat to the Lions in Bloemfontein.[10][11]
