He played for Eastern Province U21 in the 2011 Under-21 Provincial Championship, scoring 108 points in eight appearances to finish as the top scorer in Group B of the competition to help his side reach the final of the competition where they lost 23–19 to Border U21 in Wellington.

He missed the semi-final, but returned to play for them in the final, where he kicked nine points to help his side win the competition by beating the SWD U21s 24–10.
He made his first class debut for the Eastern Province Kings in the 2012 Vodacom Cup, starting their Round One match against Argentinean invitational side Pampas XV in Stellenbosch. His first senior points came in their second match of the season when he scored a try in the Kings' 40–23 victory over their Eastern Cape neighbours, the Border Bulldogs. He scored further tries against Western Province,Sharks XV and Boland Cavaliers to finish as the Kings' top try scorer in the competition.
