A talented sportsman Mahlo excelled at a variety of sports as a youngster but he turned his attention to rugby when he was selected for the Limpopo Blue Bulls side for the U16 Grant Khomo Week and U18 Craven Week.
After some fine performances at Craven Week Mahlo earned a Blue Bulls contract and represented the Blue Bulls U19 side as well as the Tuks Young Guns side in 2012.
2013 saw the winger being called into the South African U20s training squad ahead of the 2013 Junior World Championship, however, he missed out on the final selection for the tournament.
He was included in the Bulls 2014 Vodacom Cup side and made his first class debut against the Griffons.
At the end of the 2015 Vodacom Cup season he was named the Blue Bulls Players' Player of the Year.
In June 2017 Mahlo was named in the Bulls starting line up to face Sharks in what will be his Super Rugby debut.
