Career

Blue Bulls / TUT Vikings

After finishing high school in 2009, Van der Westhuizen joined the Blue Bulls Academy. He represented the Шаблон:Rut side in the 2010 Under-19 Provincial Championship, scoring one try in their match against the Шаблон:Ruts to help them finish second on the log. They reached the final of the competition in Durban, where Van der Westhuizen was an unused replacement in their 20–26 defeat to Шаблон:Rut.

In 2011, he started the season representing the Шаблон:Rut in the 2011 Varsity Cup competition, making four appearances. He was also included in the Шаблон:Rut squad for the 2011 Vodacom Cup and he made his first class debut on 8 April 2011, starting their 34–8 victory over the Шаблон:Rut in East London. He made his first home appearance a week later when he came on as a late replacement in their match against the Шаблон:Rut. In the second half of 2011, he made a single appearance for eventual champions the Шаблон:Ruts during the 2011 Under-21 Provincial Championship.

He played in all seven of the Шаблон:Rut' matches during the 2012 Varsity Cup, but saw his side relegated after losing all their matches.

Golden Lions / Falcons

In the second half of 2012, he crossed the Jukskei River to join Johannesburg-based side the Шаблон:Rut. He made five appearances from the bench for the Шаблон:Ruts during the 2012 Under-21 Provincial Championship before joining their near-neighbours, Kempton Park-based side the Шаблон:Rut. He made his debut in the First Division of the Currie Cup on 17 August 2012 when he came on as an early substitute in the Falcons' match against the Шаблон:Rut in Welkom. After twice being named on the bench but failing to appear, Van der Westhuizen made his first start in the Currie Cup in their match against the Шаблон:Rut in Potchefstroom, where they suffered a 57–22 defeat. He made a further two starts for the Falcons as they finished in seventh place on the log.

He was named in the Falcons squad for the 2013 Vodacom Cup competition, but failed to get any game time. He did return to action during the 2013 Currie Cup First Division, starting seven of their matches and playing off the bench on three occasions. The Falcons finished last on the log after winning just two out of their fourteen matches.

He represented the Falcons in the Vodacom Cup competition for the first time in 2014, making four appearances. He played in three of the Falcons' matches during the 2014 Currie Cup qualification series; a spot in the 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division was up for grabs for the winner of the series, but the Falcons missed out to remain in the First Division. Van der Westhuizen started all five of their matches in the First Division regular season to help them finish in fourth spot to qualify for the semi-finals. He also started their semi-final, helping the Falcons cause an upset by beating the log leaders Шаблон:Rut in Potchefstroom and advance to the final. However, he missed out on the final, where the Falcons lost 21–23 to the Шаблон:Rut in Welkom.
