Career

Youth

Lindsay attended Michaelhouse school in KwaZulu-Natal and played for their Under-18 side at the 2009 Craven Week tournament.[2] In 2010, he moved to Cape Town to join Western Province. He made twelve appearances for the Western Province U19 side that won the 2010 Under-19 Provincial Championship competition, although Lindsay was an unused substitute in the final.[3]

In 2012, he was included in the Western Province U21 squad for the 2012 Under-21 Provincial Championship, but failed to play for them. He did however play some club rugby for university side Maties in the Western Province Super League in 2012.[4] He was named in their squad for the 2013 Varsity Cup,[5] but once again failed to make any appearances.

At the end of 2013, he joined Port Elizabeth-based side the Eastern Province Kings on trial[6] and joined the university side affiliated with the Kings, the NMMU Madibaz for the 2014 Varsity Cup.[7] He started five of their matches to help them to the semi-final of the competition.

Senior career

His performances in the 2014 Varsity Cup also earned him an inclusion in the Eastern Province Kings squad for the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition.[8] He was named in their starting line-up for their match against the SWD Eagles in George, making his first class debut in a 23–21 loss.[9] He retained his spot in the starting line-up for their next match against Boland Cavaliers, where he scored his first senior try.[10]

In June 2014, he was selected in the starting line-up for the Eastern Province Kings side to face Wales during a tour match during a 2014 incoming tour. He played the entire match as the Kings suffered a 12–34 defeat.[11]
