Rugby career

Schoolboy rugby

Herbst was born in Witbank and earned a call-up to represent Mpumalanga at primary school level at the Under-13 Craven Week in 2006. At high school level, he attended Hoërskool Waterkloof in Pretoria, where he was chosen to represent the Шаблон:Rut at the Under-18 Craven Week in 2011. He was included in a South Africa Schools squad that beat their counterparts from France 21–14 in August 2011.[3]

Youth and Varsity Cup rugby

After high school, he joined the Blue Bulls academy, making nine appearances for a Шаблон:Rut side that reached the final of the 2012 Under-19 Provincial Championship, where they lost to Шаблон:Rut.[4]

He was selected in the South Africa Under-20 squad that played in the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship held in France.[5] He started all five of their matches in the tournament, scoring a try in their semi-final defeat to Wales,[6] a result which eliminated South Africa from the competition, eventually finishing third after beating New Zealand in their final match.[7]

Herbst returned to domestic action in South Africa by making twelve appearances for the Шаблон:Rut team in the 2013 Under-21 Provincial Championship. He scored one try in their defeat to Шаблон:Rut[8] as his side reached the final, where they lost to the same opposition.[9]

He played in the 2014 Varsity Cup competition for Pretoria-based university side Шаблон:Rut, making four appearances, and then made a further eleven starts for the Blue Bulls U21s in the 2013 edition of the Under-21 Provincial Championship. In a repeat of the 2013 final, they again faced Western Province, but turned the tables on this occasion, winning the match 20–10 to be crowned champions.[10]

Herbst's 2015 season again started with him representing Шаблон:Rut in the Varsity Cup, where he made seven starts. He was also named in a Varsity Cup Dream Team at the conclusion of the tournament and played in their match against the South Africa Under-20 squad as they prepared for the 2015 World Rugby Under 20 Championship.[11] However, he then suffered a knee injury that kept him out for the entire season.[12]

He made his return in 2016, making his domestic first class debut in the Шаблон:Rut defeat to Шаблон:Rut in the 2016 Currie Cup qualification series.[13]

In 2017 Herbst signed for Italian team Benetton. He played in Italy until 2021−22 season.[14][15]

On 5 May 2022, Herbst moved to England to join Harlequins in the Premiership Rugby ahead of the 2022-23 season.[16]
