Coming from Paarl Boys High, David Meihuizen went on to represent Ikey Tigers in the Varsity Cup after school.

He joined Western Province in the Supersport Challenge Cup before he made his Super Rugby debut against the Sunwolves in June 2019. He has since been named in the Western Province Currie Cup squad and will look to make his debut in the competition.

Meihuizen was part of the Western Province Rugby system since leaving school, having attended the Western Province Rugby Institute in 2016 and representing both Western Province U19 and DHL Western Province U21 before going on to make his senior debut in 2018.

The towering lock decided to walk away from the game at the age of 24, on advice from the Stormers medical team after consulting numerous specialists.

He ends his career with 23 Western Province caps and eight caps for the Stormers, the last of which came in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship encounter with Connacht in Galway.
