Rugby career[]

2008–2013: Schoolboy rugby[]

Du Toit was born in Cape Town, but grew up in the nearby Swartland area of the Western Cape. He was selected to represent his local Boland Cavaliers union at both the Under-13 Craven Week in 2008 and the Under-18 Craven Week in 2013.

2014–2016: Sharks[]

Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber praised veteran flyhalf Morné Steyn for his notable contribution in the green and gold - on and off the field - over an international career spanning 12 years following his retirement from international rugby on Tuesday.

2017–present: Western Province[]

At the start of 2017, Du Toit moved to Cape Town, where he joined the Western Province Currie Cup team.[2]

Personal life[]

Du Toit is the younger brother of Pieter-Steph, also a professional rugby player that represented the South African national team since 2013.[2] The two brothers were contracted to the Sharks at the same time (in 2014 and 2015) before reuniting at the Stormers from 2017 onwards.
