Rugby career

[edit]

Nel was born in Windhoek (then in South-West Africa, but part of modern-day Namibia). He played rugby sevens for Namibia, representing them at the 2010 South Africa Sevens. He made five appearances for the Welwitschias in the 2011 Vodacom Cup before they withdrew from the competition due to financial constraints.

He made his test debut for Namibia in 2012 against Senegal and represented the Welwitschias in the South African domestic Currie Cup and Vodacom Cup since their return to the competitions in 2015.
