Bio

BG Uys came through the ranks of the Leopards, playing for them at Under-18 and Under-21 from 2007 to 2009. He made his Currie Cup debut for the Leopards in 2010 against the Blue Bulls and became a first team regular over the next three seasons.

He played Varsity Cup rugby for NWU-Pukke between 2008 and 2010, which lead to his inclusion in the S.A. Students teams in 2008 and 2009.

He also played for a S.A. Barbarians (North) side that played against England during their 2012 tour of South Africa.

In 2013, Uys joined the Kings training group prior to the 2013 Super Rugby season, but was later released to the Leopards' 2013 Vodacom Cup squad.

He played for the Leopards for the remainder of 2013 before joining the Eastern Province Kings for 2014.
