Career

Youth

As a scholar at Laerskool Vastrap in Rustenburg, Venter represented local side Leopards at the 2005 Under-13 Craven Week tournament. He then went to Monument High School in Krugersdorp, where he represented the Golden Lions at the Under-18 Craven Week tournaments in 2009 and 2010. He was also included in the South African Under-18 High Performance Squad in 2010.[2] Towards the end of 2010, he was also part of the Golden Lions U19 squad that played in the 2010 Under-19 Provincial Championship competition.

In 2011, he was included in the S.A. Under-20 team that played at the 2011 IRB Junior World Championship in Italy.[3] After being an unused substitute in their opening match of the tournament against Scotland,[4] Venter started their next two matches against Ireland[5] and England.[6] However, a knee injury ruled him out of the remainder of the tournament.[7]

He only returned to action in late 2012, when he represented the Golden Lions U21 side in the 2012 Under-21 Provincial Championship competition and also played in the same competition in 2013.

Golden Lions

Despite being included in the Golden Lions' Vodacom Cup squads in 2011, 2012 and 2013, his first class debut came during the 2013 Currie Cup Premier Division, starting in the Golden Lions' matches against Griquas[8] and the Free State Cheetahs.[9]

He made his first appearance in the Vodacom Cup in the 2014 season, starting their match against the Leopards.[10]

Pumas

He joined Nelspruit-based side the Pumas on loan during the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition.[11]
