Megiel Burger Odendaal (born 15 April 1993 in Scunthorpe, England) is a South African rugby union player.[1] His regular position is inside centre.

Career

Youth and Varsity Cup rugby

Odendaal played his high school rugby for Monument High School in Krugersdorp, which led to his inclusion in Шаблон:Rut teams for youth week tournaments; he played for their Under-16 side at the 2009 Grant Khomo Week and for their Under-18 side at the 2011 Craven Week.

After the 2011 season, he then crossed the Jukskei River to join Pretoria-based side the Шаблон:Rut. He played for the Шаблон:Rut side in the 2012 Under-19 Provincial Championship (scoring three tries in eight starts) and in the same year made the step up to Under-21 level, playing for the Шаблон:Rut side in the 2012 Under-21 Provincial Championship. He also played at that level in the 2013 Under-21 Provincial Championship.

He also made solitary appearances for the Шаблон:Rut in each of the 2013 and 2014 editions of the Varsity Cup.

Blue Bulls

His first class debut came two days before his 20th birthday; he started for the Шаблон:Rut in their 2013 Vodacom Cup match against the Шаблон:Rut in Springs, helping them to a 74–14 victory in his only appearance of the season.[2]

He returned to the Шаблон:Rut side for their 2014 Vodacom Cup campaign. He made six appearances for them, all of them in the run-on side. He scored his first senior try in the third match of the season, a 49–10 win over the Шаблон:Rut in Welkom.[3] In his next match, he scored the first brace of his career, scoring two tries in the first 20 minutes of their match against the whipping boys of the competition, the Шаблон:Rut, in a 114–0 win in Pretoria.[4]

His first involvement at Currie Cup level came in 2014, when he was named in the Blue Bulls squad for the 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division season[5] and he was named in the starting line-up for their opening match of the season against the Шаблон:Rut.[6]

Lions

It was announced on the 13th of July 2020 that Odendaal would be departing the Шаблон:Rut and would be joining the Шаблон:Rut.

Wasps Rugby

On the 22nd February 2022, it was announced that he had signed for Wasps Rugby on their official website ahead of the 2022/23 season.[7] He was made redundant along with every other Wasps player and coach when the team entered administration on 17 October 2022.[8]
