FNB UWC flyhalf Aaron Swartz has had an impressive start to his side’s campaign, being instrumental in his side clinching three out of four wins, which includes a player of the match showing against FNB Varsity College.
The 20-year-old general is from Ceres, which is approximately one and a half hour drive from Cape Town. It’s here where the playmaker fell in love with the oval ball game while at Charlie Hofmeyr High School.
He also enjoyed spending summery Saturdays playing with the small leather cricket ball but rugby was the bigger passion, having represented Boland Academy in rugby while in Matric.
“I also played cricket but after school I had to make a choice between rugby and cricket so I chose rugby because I felt like I could go further in my rugby career,” Swartz said.
Swartz is currently in his second year as a social work student at FNB UWC and wants to move into teaching after completing his undergraduate degree, although chasing around the oval ball is the ultimate goal for him.
“I want to go overseas for a year and play rugby there but if I don’t get a chance to go overseas then I’ll start working and playing rugby,” Swartz explained.
“Rugby is a big dream for me.”
