During this time, he was also included in the Cheetahs Super Rugby squad for their inaugural season in the competition in 2006. He was also included in the S.A.

He then continued his playing career in Italy, where he spent four seasons, playing for Venezia, Viadana and Aironi, returning in 2008 for a short spell with Griquas and the following season for a short spell with the Border Bulldogs.

He made a permanent return to South African rugby in 2012, when he joined the Border Bulldogs for the third time.
