He scored two tries in their opening match against the Boland Cavaliers,[8] one each in their matches against the Eastern Province Kings,[9] the Border Bulldogs[10] and Free State XV[11] and four tries in their 65–29 victory over Kenyan representative side Simba XV.[12]

He was included in the Stormers squad for their 2014 Super Rugby Round 10 match against the Lions.[13] He twice came on as a blood-bin substitute to make his Super Rugby debut.[14] His first start came in the Stormers' next match, away to the Cheetahs.[15]
