Steven Kitshoff (born 10 February 1992) is a South African rugby union footballer. His playing position is loosehead prop. He represents Bordeaux in the French Top 14, having played for the Stormers in Super Rugby and Western Province in the Currie Cup.
Kitshoff was a member of the South Africa Under 20 team that won the 2012 IRB Junior World Championship.[1] In addition, Kitshoff was part of the Western Province team that won the 2012 Currie Cup.
Kitshoff attended Hendrik Louw Primary School and Paul Roos Gymnasium.[2]
Career
Western Province and Stormers
Kitshoff first broke through during the 2011 season, making 5 substitute appearances for the Stormers and then 5 Currie Cup appearances for Western Province while still only a teenager. He became more of a regular during 2012, nailing down the number 1 jersey for both the Stormers and Western Province and also winning the Currie Cup title with Province in an impressive win over the Sharks in Durban. His 2013 Super Rugby campaign was solid and he carried that form into the Currie Cup later in the year where he was an ever present as Province reached a second consecutive Currie Cup final this time going down at home to the Sharks. 2014 was a year of frustration as he succumbed to a season-ending injury towards the back-end of the Super Rugby season and this ruled him out of Western Province's successful Currie Cup campaign in which they lifted the title for the second time in three years with a narrow win over the Golden Lions at Newlands.
Bordeaux
In February 2015, it was revealed that Kitshoff would join French Top 14 side Bordeaux at the conclusion of the 2015 Currie Cup Premier Division season.[3]
