Rugby career

Blue Bulls

Van Wyk was born in Parow, but was never selected to represent Шаблон:Rut at school level. He moved to Pretoria after school to join the Шаблон:Rut academy prior to the 2013 season and made thirteen appearances for a Шаблон:Rut side that won the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championship, scoring tries in matches against the Leopards[3] and Border.[4]

He made three appearances for Шаблон:Rut in the 2014 Varsity Cup, scoring a try in his side's 26–16 victory over Шаблон:Rut.[5] He made his first class debut on 25 April 2014, coming on as a replacement for the final half an hour of their match against the Шаблон:Rut and scoring a try in his side's 116–0 victory.[6] He made one more appearance as a replacement in the competition and was then called up to the South Africa Under-20 team. He was not initially named in the team,[7] but replaced Malcolm Marx in the squad after he picked up an injury after their first match of the competition.[8] Despite his call-up, Van Wyk failed to make an appearance in the competition. He returned to domestic action to make seven appearances for the Шаблон:Ruts in the 2014 Under-21 Provincial Championship, including in the final which was won by the Blue Bulls after beating Western Province 20–10 in Cape Town.[9]

Van Wyk made nine appearances for the Blue Bulls in the 2015 Vodacom Cup, starting eight of those. He scored tries in matches against the Шаблон:Rut,[10] Шаблон:Rut[11] and Шаблон:Rut[12] on the Blue Bulls' journey to the semi-final, where they lost 6–10 to Шаблон:Rut.[13] A further nine appearances followed in the Under-21 team's Provincial Championship campaign, where he scored one try in their match against the Leopards.[14]

Montpellier

At the start of 2016, Van Wyk moved to France to join Top 14 side Шаблон:Rut. He joined as a medical joker for the injured Charles Geli, also signing a youth contract with the team. He made his debut for the senior team in their Round 23 match against Шаблон:Rut, replacing Mickaël Ivaldi for the second half of the match,[15] and was named in the senior squad for the 2016–17 season.[16]
