About

I’m a 22 year old dedicated rugby player, sport administrator and World Rugby Level 2 coach. I have represented the Sharks U21s in the U21 Currie Cup in 2024 and currently play for the College Rovers 1st team, recognized as the second-best club team in South Africa. Alongside my rugby career, I hold a degree in Sport Management and currently work as a Sports Administrator and Rugby Coach at Glenwood High School , combining my passion for the game with hands-on experience in sports administration and coaching. As a versatile player, my primary position is scrum half, with the ability to step in as a fly-half (No. 10). My dedication and relentless drive have fueled my growth, earning me a spot in the Sharks setup. Competing in the SA U19 Rugby Championship was a pivotal moment that pushed me to elevate my game. My experience also includes competing in the 2022 Varsity Shield with DUT. Back in 2021, I was proud to represent Monument High School's 1st team, one of the best rugby schools in South Africa.
