Kurt-Lee Arendse (born 17 June 1996) is a South African professional rugby player for the South Africa national team, where his regular position is wing or fullback, and a rugby union player for the Bulls in the United Rugby Championship
Career
He attended Paulus Joubert Secondary School in Paarl, where he earned a selection into the Boland Cavaliers' sevens team that competed at the 2014 SARU Under-18 Sevens competition.[2] He progressed through the youth ranks in rugby union, playing in several national junior competitions — he played for Western Province U19 in the 2015 Under-19 Provincial Championship, for Boland U20 in the 2016 Under-20 Provincial Championship and for Western Province U21 in the 2017 Under-21 Provincial Championship.
He was named as the MVP at the 2018 Varsity Cup Sevens tournament,[3] and joined the South African Rugby Sevens Academy in December 2018.[3] After playing for UWC in the 2019 Varsity Cup, Arendse was named in the Blitzboks squad for the Vancouver Sevens,[4] and he made his debut in their 31–12 Cup semi-final victory over Fiji.[5] He was an unused replacement in the final,[6] which South Africa won, beating France 21–12.
He represented Monaco rugby sevens during Supersevens 2020. The team also featured many other South Africans and ended 7th in the tournament.
In 2020, with no seven tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he joined the Pretoria Bulls franchise where he immediately made an impact.[7]
