Stormers lock David Meihuizen has announced his retirement from rugby with immediate effect.
Meihuizen, 24, played his schoolboy rugby at Paarl Boys’ High before representing UCT in the Varsity Cup. A late bloomer, he made his Western Province debut in 2018, and the Stormers the following year.
As a result of having many concussions over the course of my short career I have been advised to stop playing the game in order to prevent any long-term damage to my brain. From there I found a home with UCT and the Ikey Tigers. 4 years of my life I will cherish forever. Brothers on the Green Mile. Warrior Poets who helped shape my career and self. All the while quietly working on my rugby until in 2019 at the age of 21, I received a call to tell me I would be running out for the team I had supported since I could walk.
