He came through the youth system at Western Province, initially playing at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week in 2006. Following the Under-18 Craven Week in 2008, he was also included in the S.A. Under-18 Elite Squad.[2]

He played further games for the Under-19 and Under-21 teams and was included in Western Province's squad for the 2011 Vodacom Cup. He made his first class debut in the 56–9 victory over Namibian side Welwitschias.[3] He made one additional appearance that season.
