Varsity Rugby
He played Varsity Cup rugby for NWU Pukke between 2008 and 2010, which lead to his inclusion in the South African Students teams in 2008 and 2009.
Leopards
He made his Currie Cup debut for the Leopards in 2010 against the Blue Bulls[3] and became a first team regular over the next four seasons, making 66 first class appearances in the Currie Cup and Vodacom Cup competitions.
Eastern Province Kings / Southern Kings
In 2013, while still contracted to the Leopards, Uys joined the Kings training group prior to the 2013 Super Rugby season,[4] but was later released to the Leopards' 2013 Vodacom Cup squad.[5]
He played for the Leopards for the remainder of 2013 before joining the Eastern Province Kings for 2014.[6] He made one appearances for the Eastern Province Kings during the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition, a 3–31 defeat to the Free State XV in Cradock.[7] In June 2014, he was selected on the bench for the Eastern Province Kings side to face Wales during a tour match during a 2014 incoming tour. He came on as a second-half replacement as the Kings suffered a 12–34 defeat.[8] He made three appearances for the EP Kings on their return to the Premier Division of the Currie Cup, which included starting in their final match of the season against the Pumas to secure their first win of the season after nine consecutive defeats.[9]
Cheetahs
In July 2014, Cheetahs coach Naka Drotské revealed that Uys would move to the Bloemfontein-based Super Rugby side for the 2014 Super Rugby season.[10] This was later confirmed when he was named in the Cheetahs' wider training group prior to the season.[11]
