Coert Frederick Cronjé (born 11 May 1988 in Vereeniging, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player for the Шаблон:Rut in the Currie Cup. His regular position is outside centre, but he can also play at inside centre or on the wing.

Career

Youth rugby

He went to Kempton Park secondary school Jeugland Hoërskool and was selected in the Шаблон:Rut' squad for the 2006 Under-18 Craven Week competition held in Pretoria.

In 2007, he made the very short journey to Johannesburg to join the Шаблон:Rut academy. He played for the Шаблон:Rut side during the 2007 Under-19 Provincial Championship and for the Шаблон:Rut side during the Under-21 Provincial Championships in 2008 and 2009.

Falcons

In 2010, failing to make the breakthrough to the Шаблон:Rut' senior side, Cronjé returned to the Шаблон:Rut. His first match for the Шаблон:Rut was in a compulsory friendly match against a Шаблон:Rut Invitational XV in Nigel. His first class debut in a competitive match came during the 2010 Currie Cup First Division competition when he started in their match against the Шаблон:Rut in Welkom. His first season proved to be a very memorable one; not only did he start all ten of the Шаблон:Rut matches during the competition, but he also scored nine tries during the competition, to finish as the joint-top try scorer. He also scored two hat-tricks during the competition, the first in his fourth match against the Шаблон:Rut in Kempton Park and the second in their final match of the season against the Шаблон:Rut.

With those performances firmly establishing Cronjé as a first-choice player for the Falcons, he quickly racked up appearances and passed the half-century mark during the 2013 Currie Cup First Division season. His try-scoring exploits continued, although not as prolific as his first season. In 2011, he scored eight tries in seventeen appearances and scored three tries in eight starts in 2012. Five tries followed in twenty starts in 2013 and he got two tries during the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition.
