Rugby career

2008–2013: Schoolboy rugby

Van Vuuren was born in Magaliesburg in Gauteng, but grew up in Mpumalanga province. He represented Mpumalanga's rugby team, the Шаблон:Rut at several youth tournaments at schoolboy level – he played for them at the Under-13 Craven Week tournament in 2008, at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week tournament in 2011 and at the premier high school rugby tournament in South Africa, the Under-18 Craven Week in 2013. He scored a try for the Pumas in the latter tournament, in a 24–40 defeat to Western Province in Polokwane. After the tournament, Van Vuuren was included in a South Africa Schools squad, and he made two appearances for them in the 2013 Under-18 International Series, coming on as a replacement in a 19–14 win over England and starting their 17–13 victory over France.

2014–2016: Free State Cheetahs and UFS Shimlas

After high school, Van Vuuren moved to Bloemfontein, where he enrolled at the University of the Free State and joined the Шаблон:Rut academy. He made a single appearance for the Шаблон:Rut team during the 2014 Under-19 Provincial Championship, coming on as a replacement in their match against Шаблон:Rut.

Despite being limited to five appearances from the bench for Шаблон:Rut in their first six matches of the 2015 Varsity Cup, Van Vuuren scored two tries – one on his debut in a 29–all draw against Шаблон:Rut and another in a 24–0 win over Шаблон:Rut a week later. He was promoted to the starting line-up for their final match of the regular season against Шаблон:Rut, as UFS finished in second place on the log. He remained in the starting line-up for their 21–10 victory over defending champions Шаблон:Rut in the semi-final, and for the final, in which the Shimlas beat the Шаблон:Rut 63–33 to win the competition for the first time.

Van Vuuren was a regular for the Шаблон:Rut team during the 2015 Under-21 Provincial Championship, appearing in thirteen of their fourteen matches, making five starts. He scored a try in their final match of the regular season, a 74–22 win over Шаблон:Rut, to help his side to second on the log to qualify for the title play-offs. He came on as a replacement in their 27–22 win over the Sharks in the semi-finals and in the final, which his side lost 17–52 to Шаблон:Rut.

Van Vuuren made three appearances off the bench in UFS Shimlas' 2016 Varsity Cup season, with a nine-point try in their Round Two match against Шаблон:Rut proving decisive in a 47–46 win. It was a disappointing season for the defending champions, as they failed to qualify for the semi-finals, finishing in fifth place.

Despite not playing any more rugby in 2016, an injury to first-choice tighthead prop Tom Botha and Currie Cup regulations allowing eight players on the bench for the Currie Cup play-offs, Van Vuuren was named on the Шаблон:Rut' bench for their 2016 Currie Cup Premier Division semi-final match against the Шаблон:Rut. Van Vuuren came on in the 62nd minute of the match to make his first class debut, helping his team to a 55–17 victory. He was also named on the bench for the final, and again finished on the winning side, with the Free State Cheetahs beating the Шаблон:Rut 36–16 to win the title for the fifth time in their history and the first time since 2007.

2017–present: Bulls and Blue Bulls

Van Vuuren moved to Pretoria-based Шаблон:Rut prior to the 2017 season on a two-year deal.
