Lodewyk de Jager is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with the South African national team and the Bulls in Super Rugby.[1] He usually plays as a lock.
Career
He played at youth level for the Leopards and also played for Potchefstroom-based university side NWU Pukke.
In 2012, he was included in the Leopards' Currie Cup squad, but failed to make an appearance. Yet, his performances in the 2012 Under-21 Provincial Championship earned him a move to the Free State Cheetahs and he was included in the Cheetahs final squad for the 2013 Super Rugby season.[2]
He joined the Pretoria-based Bulls on a one-year deal for the 2017 Super Rugby season.[3]
Representative rugby
In May 2014, De Jager was one of eight uncapped players that were called up to a Springbok training camp prior to the 2014 mid-year rugby union internationals.[4]
