Ozard Martin du Toit (born 27 June 1989 in Welkom, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with the SWD Eagles.[1] He is a utility back that can play as a fly-half, fullback or inside centre.
Career
Youth, Amateur and Varsity rugby
Du Toit played high school rugby for Hottentots Holland High School, playing for the first XV since age 16 and making in excess of 50 appearances for his school.[2]
He joined Western Province in 2008, where he played for the Western Province U19 side during the 2008 Under-19 Provincial Championship and for the Western Province U21 side during the 2009 and 2010 Under-19 Provincial Championships.
He spent 2011 playing club rugby for Hamiltons in the Western Province Super League[3] before joining the NMMU Madibaz prior to the 2012 Varsity Cup.[4] He started all seven of the Madibaz' matches, scoring one try and kicking four conversions.
SWD Eagles
He joined George-based side SWD Eagles for the 2012 Currie Cup First Division season. He made his first class debut in their match against the Border Bulldogs in East London.[5] After one more appearance off the bench in their match against the Eastern Province Kings,[6] he made his first start against the Pumas in Nelspruit.[7] He made a fourth appearance against the Leopards,[8] but suffered a broken hand that rules him out for the rest of the season.[9]
In his first full season in 2013, he quickly established himself as a regular for the side. Seven appearances followed in the 2013 Vodacom Cup competition – which included Du Toit's first senior try in their final match of the competition against the Border Bulldogs[10] – and he started eleven of his side's fifteen matches during the 2013 Currie Cup First Division, scoring three tries.
He was shifted to inside centre for the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition, contributing one try as he helped his side to the quarter-finals and was again named in the squad for their 2014 Currie Cup qualification campaign.[11]
