Andreas Badenhorst

I am a strong, versatile and tactically aware backline player with 12 years of rugby experience and a consistent record at A-team level. Having played fly-half, centre and wing, I bring confident ball-carrying, reliable ball-handling skills, a strong tactical kicking game and committed defence. I read the game well, make effective decisions under pressure and lead by example. I am highly disciplined, coachable and eager to learn, with a strong commitment to continuous improvement. My ambition is to keep developing as a player and earn the opportunity to compete at a higher level of rugby.
