Niel joined Hammies in 2013 after captaining Villager for 2 seasons
Fondest rugby memory: ‘Playing WP 7s for a couple of years and my dad watching me put the red and blue hoops on.’
An out and out loose forward but what many don’t know is he started off playing rugby at fly half…
Niel’s previous clubs have been Helderberg (’06) and Villager (’07-’12) having captained the 1st XV from 2010-2012
